H Front foil/ masking film 

 

Film strips with clover-shaped apertures are glued onto the bottom of the valve section to secure the 
sliders in their valves. 
 

L Sliders 

 

Spherical  sliders  are  located  in  the  valves.  These  sliders  close  the  valves  under  which  there  is  no 
workpiece. A spherical slider must be located in every valve. 

 
I Quick-change section 

 

The quick-change section (I) is suspended on one side in a designated slot on the base section and 
fixed on the other side with quick-release clamps. The sealing plate (J) is adhered onto the bottom of 
the quick-change section. The sealing plate can be replaced as necessary. The sealing plate can be 
made  of  different  layers  and  materials.  A  4 mm  high  sealing  plate  (K)  is  adhered  on  the  top  of  the 
quick-change section; this sealing plate can also be replaced. 
If  the  grippers  are  used  in  dirty  environments  or  used  to  transport  dirty/  wet  workpieces,  we  recom-
mend regularly removing and cleaning or drying the sealing plate. Downtime can be reduced by using 
a second identical quick-change plate while the first is being cleaned/ drying. 

 

J Sealing plate 

 

The sealing plate (J) is adhered to the quick-change section (I). The sealing plate is made of technical 
foam. The standard grid is equipped with two rows of suction cells that have a distance of 28 mm from 
one another (designation: 2R28). The sealing plate can be quickly replaced thanks to a special adhe-
sive film. For details, see the “Assembly” section. 

 

Note on foam properties: 

 

The technical properties and appearance of foams may vary due to production conditions. The user is 
responsible  for  testing  whether  a  foam  is  suitable  for  a  specific  application.  We  would  be  happy  to 
assist  you  in  placing  your  first  order  by  performing  grip  tests  at  our  premises  if  you  provide  us  with 
your original workpieces. 

 

As the foam height is also subject to tolerances, it is recommended that you adjust the height setting 
of the gripper every time that the foam is replaced (for safe application, a foam compression of at least
