NOTICE

Accumulation of heat results from cramped installation situation.
Material damage or malfunction.
• Mount the product with sufficient space for heat dissipation.

1. Press 2 centring sleeves into the locating holes of the gripper.
2. Use the centring sleeves to position the gripper on the connecting surface.
3. Select screws in accordance with the type of mounting.
4. Tighten screws with the associated tightening torque.

Mounting proximity switches

If required: use proximity switch to sense the position of the gripper jaws in the
slot. Use only proximity sensors approved for the product.

Installation

8.1

Electrical installation

WARNING

Risk of injury due to electric shock
• For the electric power supply, use only PELV or SELV circuits that ensure a

reliable electric disconnection from the mains network.

WARNING

Risk of injury due to electric shock or burns.
The gripper does not offer any additional protection against unintended high
currents in the supply cables.
• The cross section of the supply cables should be designed to meet the max-

imum current value that could occur in the event of a failure.

WARNING

Danger of crushing.
The gripper fingers could move unintentionally and crush body parts.
• Do not reach into the movement range.

1. Switch off power to the controller and safeguard it from being switched on

again unintentionally.

2. Use permissible connecting cable 

è

 www.festo.com/catalogue.

3. Connect the parallel gripper to the controller at the connection plug.

DANGER

Danger of crushing due to unexpectedly moving loads and unintentional move-
ments.
Contrary to specification IO-Link port class B without galvanic isolation between
primary and secondary power supply. This can lead to malfunction or damage of
the IO-Link Master and the connected IO-Link devices.
• Connect pin 3 (L-) and pin 5 (N24) externally to avoid compensating currents via

the gripper.

• When installing further IO-Link devices on the master, note that the actuator

supply can only be switched off via pin 2 (P24).

Procedure

Behaviour in emergency off

In the event of an emergency off, the gripper jaws stop moving.

When the gripper grips a component, the position and force achieved are
maintained by the self-locking function of the jaws.

If the gripper jaws are in motion at the time the current is switched off, the
gripping process is no longer fully completed. A force cannot or can only be
partially dynamically applied.

DANGER

Danger of crushing due to unexpectedly moving loads and unintentional move-
ments.
Contrary to specification IO-Link port class B without galvanic isolation between
primary and secondary power supply. This can lead to malfunction or damage of
the IO-Link Master and the connected IO-Link devices.
• Connect pin 3 (L-) and pin 5 (N24) externally to avoid compensating currents via

the gripper.

• When installing further IO-Link devices on the master, note that the actuator

supply can only be switched off via pin 2 (P24).

WARNING

Danger of crushing.
The gripper fingers could move unintentionally and crush body parts.
• Do not reach into the movement range.

NOTICE

Material damage due to incorrect or incomplete installation.
The following conditions must be fulfilled for commissioning:
• The system must be fully assembled.
• The electrical installation must be complete and checked.
