Palletizing Solution - Instruction Manual
3.3.1. AirPick Gripper Air Supply
Compressed air must be supplied to the Vacuum Gripper according to the technical specifications. For maintenance and other
purposes, it is recommended to install a lockout valve before connecting to the product. The air supply tubing must be connected
and disconnected to, or from, the inlet port, only when the line is depressurized. When the line is pressurized, the safety clip must
be at all times installed on the inlet port.
To protect against whipping hazard, the air supply tubing must be securely attached to the robot arm. An air fuse should also be
installed.
3.3.2. Depressurizing the Supply Line
In order to safely depressurize the supply line, the air supply must first be shut off. Then, if no lockout valve is present to
depressurize the line, the AirPick Gripper can be activated until the pressure is fully released.
3.4. Mounting and Installation
3.4.1. Visual Inspection

Since the crate weighs 317 kg (697 lb), Robotiq recommends using a pallet truck or forklift truck to move it. The operation of such
machinery should be done by qualified and authorized personnel.
Caution
Before disassembling the crate, inspect it to make sure there is no damage or defect. If damage or defects are
discovered, please contact the
Robotiq support team .
