Servicing, cleaning, maintenance
Before clamping components with the quick-change palleting system it is important to ensure
that no fragments or other foreign bodies are in the system. It is particularly important that
the hole for the locating bolt, and the contact surface, are clean.
5.1 General cleaning / lubrication
Periodic lubrication of mechanical clamping elements depends on how often
the system is used.

Troubleshooting, eliminating faults
6.1 Clamping screw / clamping bolt not moving freely
Remove these parts and clean / lubricate as described above.
6.2 Clamping screw / clamping bolt seized up, system does not open

Release M5 threaded pin -h-
Fully turn out the clamping screw -i- and pull it
from the hole together with clamping bolt -k-
Lubricate the thread and hole in the base plate
with Molykote grease
Turn the clamping screw -i- into the clamping bolt -k-,
retain the distance between the clamping bolt and the
shoulder of the clamping screw of approx. 11 mm.
Insert the clamping screw and clamping bolt into the
hole of the base plate with the guide groove of the
clamping bolt -k- centrally at the top.
Turn the clamping screw -i- into the base plate,
approx. 3 turns. Note: clamping bolt -k- must not turn
while turning the clamping screw
Turn the M5 threaded pin -h- into the groove of the
clamping bolt -k- up to its stop and then release again
by ¼ turn.
Check that the screw depth is correct:
when the quick-change palleting system is clamped, the
clamping screw must protrude by approx. 0.5 – 2.0 mm
from the base plate.
Release the clamping screw as far as possible, use
plastic hammer to tap on the clamped component
from the side opposite the clamping screw.
This should free the clamping bolt so that it can be
operated again.
Check the system.
