7.2 Preparatory activities for commissioning
The servo gripper is designed for operation with the AFAG servo controller SE-
24. However, the servo gripper can also be operated with other controllers. The
required characteristic data will be provided on request.
The operation of the SE-24 servo controller is described in a separate manual.

To prepare for commissioning proceed as follows:
1. Connect the servo gripper to the SE-24 servo controller using the M14 motor
cable (Fig. 9).
- Motor cable contains motor conductors, encoder conductors and ref.
conductors.
2. Connect the servo controller to the power supply.
- A supply cable is available for the AFAG Se-24 servo controller
(
Section 5.3 Accessories).
3. For test operation, connect the servo controller to a computer (operating
software must be installed on the computer). Observe the operating
instructions for the servo controller.
If the SG-50 servo gripper is supplied in combination with an AFAG servo
controller, the operating parameters are already stored in the servo
controller. The servo gripper can be operated immediately.
If the SG-50 servo gripper is operated with an alternative servo controller,
the operator must make special cables and determine the appropriate
operating parameters.
For gripping the parts to be handled, the gripper fingers must be
manufactured by the operator (
Chap. 6.3 Manufacturing the gripper
fingers).
7.3 First commissioning
Proceed carefully and follow the instructions step by step when commissioning
the modules for the first time:
1. Observe the permissible technical values (
Chapter 3).
- Payload, movement frequency and moment load
2. First, make sure that there are no persons or tools in the working area.
3. Perform test run:
- Start with slow movements
- Then continue under normal operating conditions
Commissioning is completed.
