2  Safety instructions 

2.1  General 

This chapter provides an overview of all important safety aspects to ensure safe 

and proper use of the servo gripper and optimal protection of personnel. 
Safe handling and trouble-free operation of the servo gripper requires 

knowledge of the basic safety regulations. 
Every person carrying out installation, commissioning, maintenance work or 

operating the servo gripper must have read and understood the complete user 

manual, especially the chapter on safety instructions. 
Beyond this, there are rules and regulations regarding accident prevention that 

are applicable to the place of installation which must be observed. 
Improper use may result in danger to life and limb of the user or third parties or 

in damage to the automation system or other material assets. 
 

 

Failure to follow the directions and safety instructions given in this instructions 

manual may result in serious hazards. 

2.2  Intended use 

The SG servo gripper is intended for the shock-free gripping movement of loads 

in

 non-hazardous

 and in the ambient and operating conditions defined for this 

module (

Chapter 3 Technical data)

The servo grippers are intended exclusively for gripping payloads up to 0.5 kg 

that do not pose any danger to persons, property or the environment during 
manipulation (see also 

 Chapter 5.2 Product description). 

Any use beyond the described purpose is considered to be not in accordance 

with the intended use. 
 

 

The intended use of the module also includes: 

 observance of all instructions given in this instructions manual, 

 compliance with the inspection and maintenance work and the 

specifications in the data sheets, 

 using only original spare parts. 

2.3  Foreseeable misuse 

Any use other than or beyond the intended use described above is considered
