Schunk 308590 Milling Machine Cleaning Unit 78mm

Product Description

The SCHUNK 308590 is an aluminum cleaning unit designed for milling machine tool change systems. It automates the cleaning process during tool changes, removing chips and contaminants from the tool shank and spindle interface before each new tool is seated. The unit measures 78mm in overall length and is compatible with both air and hydraulic actuation circuits, making it adaptable to a wide range of machining center configurations. At 0.22 pounds, it is a lightweight, low-cost module suited for integration into automated tool change sequences without significant machine modification.

This cleaning unit is intended for use in CNC milling centers and machining cells where automatic tool changers cycle frequently. Fast, automatic cleaning at each tool change reduces the risk of contamination-related runout and premature spindle wear. The module is appropriate for installation by machine tool technicians and maintenance professionals managing production machining environments where cleanliness at the spindle-tool interface directly affects dimensional accuracy and tool life.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant service
• Compatible with both air and hydraulic actuation systems
• Fast, automatic cleaning integrated into the tool change cycle
• Low-cost modular design for straightforward integration
• 78mm overall length suits compact spindle and tooling configurations
• Increased safety by reducing contamination before tool engagement

Compatibility

Designed for milling machines and CNC machining centers equipped with air or hydraulic actuation tool change systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine tool technician with the machine fully de-energized and all pneumatic or hydraulic pressure bled from the actuation circuit before service. Verify that the actuation supply pressure and port connections meet the specifications of the host machine before commissioning. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and any applicable workplace safety standards when integrating modules into automated tool change systems.
