5.3 Installation of the chuck holders
The shrink fit unit is compatible with all the unit chucks (H4) on the market.
This compatibility is possible because the chuck holders are peculiar to each chuck.
You can easily recognize them because of their colour:
HSK = blue
ISO/BT = green
Depending on the chuck to be shrunk or unshrunk, put the corresponding chuck holder
(A3) in its lodging.
5.4 Installation of the inductor stops
The inductor (A1) is equipped with an inductor stop (A2).
Its function is to position correctly the inductor on to the attachment, but also to
concentrate the electromagnetic fields towards the attachment and avoid leaks and
dispersals outside.
Several inductor stops are available according to the tool shank diameter (K1) to be
shrunk or unshrunk.
Ø3 to 5 Ø6 to 12 Ш14 а 20 Ш25 а 32 Ш40 possibly
Its setting is quick and simple because of a quarter turn system.
Special inductor stops can be used for tools of which the cutting diameter is superior to
the shank diameter. The utilisation is identical.
5.5 Adjustment of selector
By default, the “AUTO” mode is selected.
In this position, the shrink fit unit adapts automatically its heating power and its heating
period, according to the type of attachment, in order to preserve the chuck (the
induction stops itself automatically).
The position “Manual” corresponds to a heating time longer, the power is always self-
regulated. That position has to be used only in case of impossibility to unshrink in
“AUTO” being aware of the risks of deterioration of the tool-holder by overheating.
