Troubleshooting for Milling Chuck

Please see the operation manual
 
Tool cannot be held after tightening

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Tool diameter is too small. ・Tool shank diameter should be h7.
・Use h7 shank tool instead.

 

Tool insertion is hard (not possible)

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Scratch or dent exists in chuck ID or
tool shank.
・Replacement of chuck or tool
・Touching up of area in question(rubbing off with sand paper #1000 and above)Correction (grinding) by NT TOOL is not possible.
Tool diameter is too big. Use h7 tool shank.
Clamping ring is not fully returned. ・Ask NT for repair. (In some cases, irrepairable.)
・Rotate clamping ring counterclockwise one complete turn after removing cutting tool.

 

Clamping ring will not be loosened.

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Deformation of roller guide because clamping ring has not returned enough after removing tool. ・Ask NT for repair. (In some cases, irrepairable.)
・Rotate clamping ring counterclockwise one complete turn after removing cutting tool.
Rust inside Ask NT for repair. (In some cases, irrepairable.)
Flaking on sliding surface. Ask NT for repair. (In some cases, irrepairable.)

 

Tool cannot be pulled out.

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Seizing caused by tool slippage (Seizing caused by impact when tool gets broken)) ・Ask NT for repair. (In some cases, irrepairable.)
・Check if clamping is completed.
・Fretting corrosion of ID and tool shank (Seizing caused by rust)
・Insufficient clamping
・Insufficient tool insertion length
・Tool shank diameter is smaller than h7.
・Cutting resistance is too large. (Pull-out by pestle-like movement) → Bending moment is too large.
・Keep minimum insertion length.
・Use h7 shank tool instead.
・Cutting resistance should be lowered.
  a : Lower feed rate or higher rotation (Approx. 20%)
  b : Lower cutting depth
・Bending moment should be lowered.
  c : Shorter tool projection length

 

Rotation of tightening ring is not smooth.

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Deformation of needle rollers because
tool is kept chucked for long.
・First loosening may not be felt smooth.
・Loosen clamping ring and give it a few more counterclockwise
rotations.
  (Rough touch will not be a problem in practice. If tightening
is very difficult, however, return it to NT TOOL.)
・ A long-term state of the shuck remains generating the stress on the roller and the taper side. Please avoid leaving in the state of the chuck as much as possible.

 

Tool is pulled out during cutting.

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Insufficient clamping Check if clamping is completed.
Insufficient tool insertion length Keep minimum insertion length.
Tool shank diameter is smaller than Use h7 shank tool instead.
Cutting resistance is too large.
(Pullout by pestle-like movement.)
→ Bending moment is too large.
Cutting resistance should be lowered.
  a :Higher rotation or lower feed rate
(Approx. 20%)
  b : Lower cutting depth
  c : Shorter tool projection length
Chuck rigidity is too low. Use another type of tool holder.
(such as side locl endmill holders)

 

No click sound is generated (CTA). (Tight-up ring's failure)

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
・Rollers for tight-up ring are worn or broken.
・Tight-up ring is worn or broken.
・Ask NT for repair. (In some cases, irrepairable.)
No over-tightening or additional turn after a click sound is generated.

 

Chattering

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Chattering by chuckr's resonance Shift rotation speed to vary resonance frequency. (± 10% and above)
Insufficient clamping Check if clamping is completed.
Insufficient tool insertion length Keep minimum insertion length.
Tool shank diameter is smaller than h7 Use h7 shank tool instead.
The amount of cutting is a little, and the slipping phenomenon on the grinding surface by swinging of the blade is generated. Revision of cutting conditions (Higher cutting resistance)
a : Higher feed rate or lower rotation (Approx. 20%)
b : Higher depth of cut
Cutting resistance is too high in comparidon
with the chuck's rigidity.
・Revision of cutting conditions (Lower cutting resistance)
a : Lower feed rate or higher rotation (Approx. 20%)
b : Lower depth of cut
・Use bigger tool chuck.
・Shorter tool projection length
・Shorter tool chuck length
Insufficient chcuking force at nose because
of using MC collet (mainly 12mm and below)
Recommendation of collet chucks instead
Holder withdrawing power shortage because of defective selection of retention bolt Use designated retention stud for M/C
Defect per taper due to swelling of BT shank by tightening retention bolt too much Keep recommended torque value for tightening retention stud.

 

Falling off of tool chuck during ATC

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Interference with ATC arm ・Check L0 dimension on our catalog and aximum tool dimension for the M/C.
・Revision of tool chuck size.
Overload for ATC capacity Check maximum load for ATC.
Maximum allowable moment for the M/C is exceeded. Check maximum allowable moment for M/C.
Clamp movement of ATC is not synchronized. Consult with the machine tool builder.

 

Deteriorated runout accuracy Guidelines for chucking accuracy
Direct: 30 micrometers and above at 100mm With MC collet: 50 micrometers and above at 4D

Cause

Solution / Countermeasures
Rust, damage or deformation of chuck ID and collet. ・Replacement of chuck or tool
・Touching up of area in question(rubbing off with sand paper #1000 and above)   Correction (grinding) by NT TOOL is not possible.
Insufficient tool insertion length Keep minimum insertion length.
Scratch or dent on tool shank Touching up of scratch or dent
Notch or flat on tool shank Use tool without notch or flat.
Expansion of BT shank because of over-tightening retention stud. Keep recommeneded torque value for toghtening retention stud.
Poor accuracy of tool Replacement of tools.
Dust seizing in the chucking part Cleaning of chuck ID and collet
Deteriorated accuracy of tool interface
・Large runout (2 micrometers and above) of spindle ID or end face (in the case of two-face contact)
・Dust, scratch or dent on taper area or end face (in the face of two-face contact)
・Regrinding or correction of machinespindle
・Cleaning of taper and end face (in the case of twoface contact), touching up of scratch or dent
