4 Product overview

4.1 Function

• Alternating pressurisation of the supply ports causes a piston in the gripper to move (double-acting).
• A gripper with integrated spring return is used to exert the gripper force. When exhausting the single-acting gripper: the spring return moves the gripper jaws to the initial position.

-N/O contact: NO (normally open)

-N/C contact: NC (normally closed)

• The piston movement is transmitted mechanically to the gripper jaws. Gripper fingers are fastened to the gripper jaws. Closing or opening the gripper fingers clamps the payload to the outer contour (external gripping) or the inner contour (internal gripping).
• The gripping force is adjusted by external regulation of the operating pressure.
  -The gripper has integrated fixed flow restrictors. If the max. gripper finger weights and the max. gripper finger lengths are in compliance, an external flow control is not required.

5.3 Mounting gripper

If necessary, mount the proximity switches before mounting the gripper. When using proximity switches for sensing the end position, take the following into account:

• Interference from ferritic attachments, e.g. retaining screws made of ferritic steel.
• Projecting proximity switches, if applicable.
• Cable outlet direction of the proximity switches.
• Sufficient space for the connection components.
• When sensing from both end positions: use separate slots for the proximity switches.

6 Installation

6.1 Pneumatic installation

NOTICE

Loss of function due to contamination in the connections.

- Keep ports and tubing lines free from dirt particles and foreign matter.

i

The use of a check valve prevents the payload from dropping in the event of a sudden pressure drop. The use of a one-way flow control valve also permits adjustment of the opening and closing time.

Three technical line drawings of mechanical components with mounting holes and housing (no text or symbols)

Fig. 7: Connection options

- Connect the compressed air supply to the supply port.

7 Commissioning

WARNING

Risk of injury due to falling loads.

- Before exhausting remove the payload.

1. Slowly pressurise gripper.

2. Set the opening and closing time with an upstream one-way flow control valve: screw in the flow control screw completely and then unscrew it one turn.

3. Perform a test run without payload.

Check the following:

- Allocation of the supply ports

-The reliable function of the proximity switches (if installed)

- Stop noise of the piston: the piston stop must be soft, that means not audibly hard or metallic.

Piston stop Insight/conclusion

soft The gripper speed is correct or can be increased. With upstream one-way flow control valve: unscrew the flow control screw slightly. The gripper speed increases.

hard/metallic The gripper speed is too high. With an upstream one-way flow control valve: screw in the flow control screw until the piston stop is no longer audibly hard or metallic. The gripper speed is reduced.

1. Perform a test run with payload.

The gripper must hold the payload securely.

1. After successful test runs:

- Remove the payload or lock to prevent it from falling.

-Exhaust the gripper.

8 Maintenance

8.1 Safety

WARNING

Risk of injury due to unexpected movement of the gripper fingers or falling payload.

- Before exhausting: remove the payload at the gripper.

- Disconnect gripper from the compressed air supply.

8.2 Cleaning

Clean the product only with non-abrasive cleaning agents and soft cloths.

9 Malfunctions

9.1 Fault clearance

Error description Cause Remedy
