Airlock Valve
If the incoming air supply volume is inadequate, the cable grip force can be reduced during the vacuum
cycle. The airlock valve maintains the grip pressure to prevent the cable from slipping in the gripper
jaws (Figure 7). It also allows the cable grip to be released, if the guard door is opened and the red
button on top of the airlock valve is pressed. The airlock valve is located inside the machine’s sliding
door to the left of the gripper jaws (Figure 7).
CAUTION
The system might be pressurized.
