SG
For the SG Base Part
WARNING:
Please, clean the SG Base Part regularly by using a cloth and a cleaning agent
with a pH value between 6-8.
When cleaning the SG Base Part please keep it mounted on the robot to
prevent water getting into the connector.
After cleaning, use a cloth and clean water, to rinse of any leftover cleaning
agent.
Please ensure that the used cleaning agent does not contain chlorine as this
can lead to corrosion.
WARNING:
On a regular basis, check that the silicone bellow has not come loose from
neither the aluminum base nor the Smart Lock male. If the bellow is not sitting
correctly, this can lead to water seeping into the SG base part.
For the SG Tools:
The silicone part and the smart lock female are dishwasher and
autoclave safe, at temperatures =< 120°C (248°F).
Various cleaners can be used for cleaning the silicone part. Dish
soap. Alcohol, regular ethanol, isopropanol and acetone works as
well for cleaning.
Do not use concentrated acids and alkalis, since these can
potentially damage the silicone, in particularly oxidizing acids
such as sulfuric or nitric acid. It is recommended to use cleaning
agent with a pH value between 2 and 13.
On a regular basis, please do a visual inspection of the smart-lock
female and the ball spring. If needed clean it with a brush or cloth.
VG10 / VGC10
The VG grippers are equipped with one filter for each suction cup socket, and one filter for the
exhaust. How often the filters need to be changed depends on the nature of the work piece
and the working environment. The VG grippers automatically de-dust the filters every time a
grip is released. However, particles can eventually get stuck and build up inside the filter,
lowering the VG grippers performance.
A filter service kit is available, which include both new filters and tools needed.
