7.2 Power operated workhead chuck (option)
The 3-jaw power chuck option saves you time during part load and unload sequences when the
machine is used for high volume production grinding work.
With the machine setup to operate in automatic cycle mode then the chuck open and close function
is performed automatically by the machine once the sliding front guard doors have closed. In non-
automation mode, the machine operator is responsible for closing and opening the power chuck
using the foot pedals located at the front of the machine.
7.2.1 3-Jaw chuck arrangement
Each chuck jaw is numbered uniquely to associate it with its mating actuator on the chuck body. The
jaws are pneumatically operated and move simultaneously when opened or closed.
