Laser pneumatic chuck maintenance

Jun. 20, 2025

The laser pneumatic chuck clamps and positions the workpiece through the radial movement of the movable claws evenly distributed on the chuck body. 

The laser pneumatic chuck is generally composed of a chuck body, movable claws and a claw transmission mechanism. 

The diameter of the laser pneumatic chuck body is at least 65 mm and can reach up to 1500 mm. There is a hole in the center for the workpiece or rod to pass through; 

there is a cylindrical or short conical structure on the back, directly or through the flange and the end of the machine tool spindle. 

The laser pneumatic chuck is usually installed on lathes, external grinders and internal grinders. 

It can also be used in conjunction with various indexing devices such as milling machines and drilling machines.


Maintenance and maintenance of laser pneumatic chucks:


1. The laser pneumatic chuck should be maintained and maintained at the same time as the machine tool;


2. During the use of the chuck, lubrication (at the oil cup) and cleaning (with compressed air) must be carried out every shift to maintain the accuracy of the chuck and extend its service life;


3. The chuck must be thoroughly cleaned, lubricated and maintained at least twice a year, as well as the handling of dangerous parts, and all working surfaces must be lubricated. 

When the machine tool is used more frequently or the environment is under special conditions, the number of cleaning, lubrication and other parts of the chuck should be appropriately increased.


Other precautions for laser pneumatic chucks:


1. Please read this manual carefully before work and strictly follow it.


2. When the chuck is abnormally damaged, stop working immediately and notify the supervisor to have a professional repair it.


3. It is strictly forbidden to modify the chuck structure at will.


4. In addition to the above provisions, local safety operating procedures should also be followed.
