BP-3P-S06-0001 Pneumatic and Signal Transfer in a Sensor-Monitored Chuck

This customer configuration transfers three independent compressed-air circuits and external sensor signals across the stationary-to-rotating interface of a pneumatic chuck.

Installed Chuck Integration

The workshop photograph shows the pneumatic rotary union mounted at the chuck assembly, with pneumatic tubing and electrical leads visible around the rotating interface.

What the installation is designed to do

BP-3P-S06-0001 provides separate transfer paths for compressed air and electrical signals. The external sensors and machine controller perform the actual detection; the rotary union does not detect a workpiece or determine clamp status by itself.

Installation Details

  • A pneumatic-and-electrical rotary interface is installed at the chuck assembly.
  • Pneumatic tubing and electrical leads are routed to the installed unit.

Batch Preparation and Wiring

The second photograph shows multiple units prepared with labeled pneumatic ports and external electrical leads before integration.

Useful production controls

  • Keep the customer circuit map matched to each pneumatic port.
  • Verify the approved electrical pinout and signal type before wiring.
  • Protect tubing and leads from strain, sharp bends and rotating interference.
