Safecontrol 3

Spindle pull back force checking gauge are an essential part of preventitive maintenance on machine spindles with pull back grippers.

By testing and checking regularly, failing grippers can be detected early, allowing for plannned maintenance rather than the panic of a spindle failure. Spindles use springs and washes to create the tool holder grip force. After time the constant grip and release will weaken them reducing the amout of force applied. The consiquence of this can be vibration in the machining process resulting in poor surface finish, reduced tool life, and damage to spindle bearings.

Overview

Features

Technical

The Kelch Safecontrol offers a unique method of monitoring and checking the pull back forces in the machine spindle clamping mechanism. This reduces the need for reactive maintenace when the gripper mechanism starts to fail. Ideal equipment for machine spindle rebuilders and field service engineers

Safecontrol Pull Back Force Gauge

Pull back forces in the spindle gripper mechanism are checked.
The force sensing bar is engaged in the spindle and clamped in the same way a toolholder.
The sensing bar sends a calibrated force value to a hand held electronic readout unit.
From this value you can determine if the correct force is applied.
Reduces forces indicate failure of the spring mechanism
Simple to use and very effective
Supplied in a case set for secure storage and transport
