Ultimate Chuck UC2 Installation and Customer Training Checklist
Note: All items with signature box must be initialed by ATS Systems Service Engineer. General
Inventory Checklist - ATS supplied items (See BOM for details of this specific order):
___ Chuck ___ manual ___ maintenance decal
___ Drawtube adapter ___ grease gun & grease ___ Jaw change wrench
___ Wrench-drawtube ___ bolts- chuck to spindle
Key Checks Before Proceeding:
___ Get list of people to train and name of management contact to advise of any safety or other issues.
___ Check that lathe spindle nose is the same as the chuck provided.
Machine top speed is lower then rated speed of chuck, or soft limit is set.
___ Are top jaws available for first job? Check jaw fit on base jaws. ___
Is material available for first job?
Installation Steps: Manual section 3
Attach safety/maintenance decal to lathe.
___ Remove existing chuck. Actuate the chuck and hit the e-stop in mid-stroke. This will cause an alarm and
shutoff the machine hydraulics for easy removal of chuck. Clean spindle nose and flange, remove defects
with a stone.
___ Make sure the drawtube is screwed in tight to the cylinder.
___ Screw the drawtube adapter all the way on to the drawtube to inspect proper threads. Retract the drawtube
to ensure the drawtube adapter will fit into the bore of the spindle.
___ Measure the length from the spindle flange face to the end of the drawtube. It must be shorter than the
respective dimension in the back of the chuck. Check with drawtube in forward position, chuck piston in
the forward open position.
___ Measure actual drawtube stroke and record. ________
For reference: * Below, minimum drawtube stroke to use hard jaws and avoid need for ½ pitch base jaws
assuming drawtube length is perfectly adjusted. You would like to have more stroke than this to allow for
some drawtube length adjustment tolerance. Explain this to the customer if it's close.

Complete and attach to the machine the “Chuck and Cylinder Specifications” decal with all engineering data
and fill in all data on the copy on pg. 8 of this checklist. You’ll need to get cylinder and lathe hydraulic specs
off the machine or in the machine manuals. Call Santa Fe Springs for help.
If drawtube stroke is less than "Min stroke for hard jaws" shown above, advise user management (in addition
to training the shop staff) they will need half pitch base jaws for hard jaw applications and to take care that
they are always gripping in the first part of the jaw stroke. If stroke is longer but close, advise them to
regularly check drawtube adjustment and jaw stroke. Measure and record actual jaw stroke below.
If available machine pressure and resulting drawbar pull exceeds chuck limit, advise user management not
to exceed limit. Suggest customer obliterate pressure information on lathe builder decals that apply to other
chucks to avoid confusion.
