    air collet closer not opening

    I have the Tormach air 5c collet closer, and it's been working great since I got it a few months ago until today - now it's not unclamping unless I tap the stock. Same stock and collet that was working fine yesterday. I tried increasing air pressure and air oil but that didn't seem to help. Any other suggestions to try?

    Thanks

    Are you using lubrication in your air line?
