AM240 - Lock spindle
Carrying out the maintenance activities described below requires
special knowledge. For this reason, these maintenance activities
must only be carried out by staff that has received adequate training
by the machine manufacturer!
Orientation
This is not a maintenance activity in the strict sense. For carrying out some
maintenance activities, e.g. “Lubricate clamping devices” or “Clean collets and
base body” , this procedure is absolutely useful.
Requirement
To prepare the spindles for certain activities, they must be locked. Machine-specific
aids are available for this purpose. In this case, lock the spindle with a pin (see
example) so that spindle rotation is no longer possible. These devices are
components of the machine and are included with the accessories.
Example: Spindle lock MS32_6.2_MS32_6.3_MS40_6_MS40_8_MS52_6.3
