Notes on particular risks
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury to operating personnel due to the workpiece
falling down or being flung out in the event of a power failure
In the event of a power failure, the lathe chuck's clamping force
may fail immediately and the workpiece may be released in an
uncontrolled manner. This poses a risk of death or injury to the
operating personnel and can result in serious damage to the
automated system.
•The machine manufacturer and the operator of the machine
must carry out and document a hazard assessment and risk
analysis to ensure that suitable measures are taken to
maintain the lathe chuck's clamping force until the machine
comes to a standstill and the workpiece can be secured (e.g.
using a crane or suitable lifting equipment).
•The machines and equipment must fulfill the minimum
requirements of the EC Machinery Directive; specifically, they
must have effective technical measures to protect against
potential mechanical hazards.
DANGER
Possible risk of fatal injury to operating personnel if a jaw
breaks or if the lathe chuck fails because the technical data have
been exceeded and a workpiece is released or parts fly off
•The technical data specified by the manufacturer for using the
lathe chuck must never be exceeded.
•The lathe chuck may only be used on machines and facilities
that fulfill the minimum requirements of the EC Machinery
Directive; specifically, they must have effective technical
measures to protect against possible mechanical hazards.

DANGER
Possible risk of fatal injury to operating personnel from clothing
or hair being caught on the lathe chuck and being dragged into
the machine
Loose clothing or long hair may become caught on projecting
parts of the lathe chuck and be drawn into the machine.
•The machines and equipment must fulfill the minimum
requirements of the EC Machinery Directive; specifically, they
must have effective technical measures to protect against
potential mechanical hazards.
•Always wear tight-fitting clothing and a hairnet when working
on the machine and the lathe chuck.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to dropping the chuck during transport,
installation or removal.
•Take special care in the danger zone when transporting,
installing or removing the chuck.
•Note the relevant load securing regulations for working safely
with cranes, ground conveyors, lifting gear and load-handling
equipment.
CAUTION
Danger of slipping and falling in case of dirty environment
where the chuck is used (e.g. by cooling lubricants or oil).
•Ensure that the working environment is clean before starting
assembly and installation work.
•Wear suitable safety shoes.
•Follow the safety and accident-prevention regulations when
operating the chuck, especially when working with machine
tools and other technical equipment.

Basic safety instructions

02.00|ROTA NC plus 2 / ROTA NCF plus 2 |en
CAUTION
Danger of limbs being crushed by opening and closing of the
chuck jaws during manual loading and unloading or when
replacing moving parts.
•Do not reach between the jaws.
•Wear safety gloves.
•Observe the safety and accident prevention regulations during
operation of the chuck, especially in connection with
machining centers and other technical equipment.
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to workpieces with high temperatures.
•Wear protective gloves when removing the workpieces.
•Automatic loading is preferred.
CAUTION
Risk of damages due to incorrect choice of clamping position for
chuck jaws on workpiece.
If an incorrect clamping position is chosen for the chuck jaws on
workpiece, the base and the top jaws may be damaged.
•The T-nuts combine the top jaws with the base jaws and they
should never protude over the base jaws in radial direction.
•The outer diameter of the screwed top jaws must not exceed
the outer diameter of the chuck by more than 10%.
CAUTION
Hazard from vibration due to imbalanced rotating parts and
noise generation.
Physical and mental strains due to imbalanced workpieces and
noise during the machining process on the clamped and rotating
workpiece.
•Ensure the chuck's axial and concentric runout.
•Check options for remedying imbalances on special top jaws
and workpieces.
•Reduce the speed.
•Wear hearing protection.
