Ensure the Swiss-type lathe is in a stopped state, turn off the power, and disconnect the power cord to ensure operational safety.
Prepare the required guide bushing chuck, tools (such as wrenches, hex keys), and cleaning supplies.
Removing the Old Guide Bushing Chuck:
Open the protective cover of the guide bushing chuck to expose it.
Use appropriate tools to loosen the bolts or nuts that secure the guide bushing chuck. These fasteners may be on the outside or inside of the chuck, and the specific location and method of securing can be found in the equipment manual.
Carefully remove the old guide bushing chuck, taking care to avoid damaging any parts of the workpiece or machine.
Cleaning:
Clean the area where the guide bushing chuck will be installed to ensure there are no residual chips or oil, which will help with the accurate installation of the new guide bushing chuck.
Installing the New Guide Bushing Chuck:
Align the new guide bushing chuck with the installation position, ensuring it is correctly positioned on the guide bushing.
Use appropriate tools to tighten the bolts or nuts, ensuring the guide bushing chuck is securely installed on the guide bushing. When tightening, be careful not to over-tighten to avoid damaging the guide bushing chuck or guide bushing.
Adjustment:
Adjust the position of the guide bushing chuck as needed to ensure it is coaxial with the spindle and meets the machining requirements of the workpiece.
Adjust the clamping force of the guide bushing chuck to ensure the workpiece is stable during machining, but avoid over-tightening which could cause deformation of the workpiece.
Inspection and Testing:
Before starting machining, perform the necessary inspections on the CNC Swiss-type lathe to ensure the guide bushing chuck is correctly and securely installed.
Conduct a test run to observe the clamping effect and operating condition of the new guide bushing chuck, ensuring there are no abnormal vibrations or noises.
Completion:
After completing all inspections and adjustments, close the protective cover to ensure the Swiss-type lathe returns to normal operating conditions.
