Using a 7/16” open end wrench and adjustable wrench, install the two (2) NPT push-to-connect adapters into the threaded ports of the air control valve. The adjustable wrench will be used on the control valve and the 7/16” wrench will be used on the adapters. Tighten until snug.
Using the 8mm open end wrench, install the rotating push-to-connect fitting in the bottom of the B-table adapter. Tighten until snug.
Measure the distance from the Pocket NC’s B-table to the desired location for the air control valve (e.g. a mounting hole drilled in the side of an enclosure).
Cut the 6mm air hose to the length of the distance found in step 3.
Push one end of the newly cut piece of air hose into the rotating push-to-connect fitting on the bottom of the B-table adapter and push the other end into the push-to-connect adapter on the long short end of the air control valve.
Take the remaining length of 6mm hose and push it into the push-to-connect adapter on the short long end of the air control valve. This can now be routed to an air supply (like an air compressor). If the air supply uses something other than 6mm hose, it simply needs to be adapted in away that will allow it to connect to the short long side of the air control valve.
Provide a minimum of 72 psi (5 bar) to the system. Toggle the air control valve so that no air is venting out of it, this will route the air to the Schunk module.Check that
Locate and watch the clamping jaws inside the module recede. This can be done by watching the jaws while toggling module’s center hole. Toggle the air control valve back and forth to make sure the jaws open in one valve position and close in the other.
With the air control valve not venting (sending air to the module)module’s jaws closed, listen for leaks in the system. If a leak can be heard or felt, check all connection points as well as the plugged (with a set screw) port on the side of the B-table adapter.

Safely disconnect the air supply from the work holding air system assembly.
Disconnect the 6mm hose from the rotating push-to-connect connector on the bottom of the B-table adapter. This is done by pushing on the release ring at the end of the connector then pulling on the hose.
With the Pocket NC’s B axis in its home position, place the four (4) 1/8” dowel pins in the B-table. One will be placed on each side of the 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock position.
Place the Schunk module and B-table adapter assembly onto the B-table of the machine while aligning it with the dowel pins previously placed.
Using the four (4) M4 fasteners, fasten the work holding assembly down to the machine’s B-table. Tighten in criss cross pattern until snug using a 3mm allen wrench.
Reconnect the 6mm hose to the rotating push-to-connect connector on the bottom of the work holding assembly (the hose will have to pass through the hole in the B-able) and restore air to the system.
...
Provide a minimum of 72 psi (5 bar) of air to the air system previously set up.
Toggle the air control valve so that air is venting through itthe module’s jaws are open.
Place the prepared stock on the Schunk module, aligning inserting the center clamping pin with into the center hole of the module.
Rotate the prepared stock on the module until the indexing pin drops into the indexing pocket of the module.
Make sure the bottom of the stock is fully seated against the top of the module all the way around and then toggle the air control valve to stop it from venting, this should close the module jaws and clamp the stock down.
Ensure the stock is securely fastened by testing it manually (pushing and pulling on it).
