Notes on particular risks
The TANDEM clamping block can cause injury for persons and
material damage, for example:
• it is used other than as intended;
• it is not installed or maintained properly;
• the safety and installation instructions, the safety and accident
prevention regulations valid at the usage site or the EC
Machinery Directive are not observed.
WARNING
Risk of injury to operating personnel if the clamping block fails
because the technical data have been exceeded and a work-
piece is released or parts fly off!
• The technical data specified by the manufacturer for using the
clamping block must never be exceeded.
• The clamping block may only be used on machines and facili-
ties that fulfill the minimum requirements of the EC Machin-
ery Directive 2006/42/EC; specifically, they must have effec-
tive technical measures to protect against possible mechanical
hazards.
WARNING
Risk of injury from the workpiece being lost
if the air pressure or oil pressure fails or is reduced or from an
incorrect control operation (operator error)
• Use pressure maintenance valves.
• Checks in the user's program.
WARNING
Risk of injury from clamping block or chuck jaws falling during
transport, installation or removal!
• Make sure the clamping block and chuck jaws do not fall dur-
ing transport, installation or removal.
• Use a crane and/or a transport truck for transport.
• Only install the clamping block on machines with the appro-
priate connection dimensions.

CAUTION
Risk of crushing from chuck jaws opening and closing when
manually loading and unloading!
• Do not reach between the chuck jaws.
• Wear personal protective equipment.
• Prevent the clamping block from being actuated
unintentionally.
• Use automated loading.
CAUTION
Risk of slipping or falling if the clamping block's operational
environment is not clean (e.g. contaminated with cooling
lubricants or oil).
• Ensure that the working environment is clean before starting
assembly and installation work.
• Wear suitable safety boots.
• Follow the safety and accident-prevention regulations when
operating the clamping block, especially when working with
machine tools 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.
Product safety
Follow the care and maintenance instructions.
Assembling the TANDEM clamping block
Make sure the power supply for the clamping block is off during
assembly and connection. Make sure the TANDEM clamping block
cannot be accidentally operated by the service technician or oth-
ers during connection, adjustment, start-up and testing.
Disconnect power sources during installation, modification,
maintenance, or calibration. Perform maintenance, modifications,
or installations outside of the danger zone.

Functional testing
• Test to make sure the TANDEM clamping block is functioning
properly before putting it into operation. Make sure there are
no leaks in the line system.
• Regularly check the motion kinematics of the jaw change inter-
face locking mechanism to make sure they can be easily moved
and return to their original position automatically.
• If the clamping system is involved in a collision, it must be test-
ed to see if it is still functioning properly before using it again.
Only use original SCHUNK spare parts when replacing damaged
items.
• Visually inspect the clamping block at least once per shift for
visible damage and defects.
• Replace the chuck jaw mounting screws if there are signs of
wear or damage. Only use screws with a quality of 12.9.
Maintenance instructions
Clamping block reliability can only be guaranteed if the mainte-
nance instructions are precisely followed.
Using special chuck jaws
Please observe the following rules when using special changing
jaws:
• The chuck jaws should be designed to be as low as possible.
The clamping point must be as close as possible to the housing
(clamping points further away cause higher surface pressures in
the jaw guides and can significantly reduce clamping force).
• Reduce operating pressure for higher clamping points.
• Do not use welded jaws.
• Mount accessories such as clamping bars or reversible
gripping jaws to the changing jaws with the proper torque
(6, Page 16).
