Technical Manual Instructions 6.3. Disassembly Instructions 1. Remove tool from spindle. 2. Clean spindle with clean wipe or spindle wiper. 3. Loosen, but do not remove, the (2) set screws from the canister ring. 4. Using the spindle assembly tool, loosen and remove the canister ring. An Allen wrench can be used with the set screws to assist in removal. NOTE: The canister ring must pass over the error-proof/alignment feature on the canister. Technical Manual 5. Move lockrod to “tool release” position. 6. Use the canister removal tool to pull the canister and locking balls out of the spindle. 7.

Maintenance • Poor maintenance can lead to spindle damage. Regular preventative maintenance can help prolong the life of the tooling connection. If service is required, ensure that it is done in a clean environment as foreign contaminants can have detrimental effect on clamping components. The following steps can prolong the life of spindle components: — Use a clean wipe or spindle wiper to clean the internal taper. (Compressed air should not be used as it may force debris into the ball pockets). — Regularly clean tools, tool holders, and tool tapers. — Check the level and quality of the spindle lubricant and coolant. — Balance your tools. — Cotton swabs can be used weekly to add grease to the balls when the clamping mechanism is in the “clamped without tool” position. — The clamping force should be checked monthly in accordance with Kennametal procedure KCT0750. Reference assembly step 16. — The clamping position should be checked monthly. Reference assembly step 4,12, and 13. • If a major issue arises, completely disassemble and reassemble the clamping components. Inspect for wear and fatigue of clamping components and seals. Order replacement parts as needed. • In case of any damage, the exchange of the complete clamping set is recommended. • If further assistance is needed, contact customer support. kennametal.com C25 KMT_KM4X_Catalog_C024_C025_EN.indd 25 L V i KMT KM4X C l C024 C025 EN S b 1 20169/1/16 12 552:05 PMPM
