Basic safety notes
2.5 Gripper fingers
Requirements of gripper fingers
Accumulated energy can make the product unsafe and risk the
danger of serious injuries and considerable material damage.
• Execute the gripper fingers in such a way that the product
reaches either the "open" or "closed" position in a de-energized
state.
• Only change gripper fingers if no residual energy can be
released.
• Make sure that the product and the top jaws are a sufficient
size for the application.
2.6 Environmental and operating conditions
• Make sure that the product and the top jaws are a sufficient
size for the application.
• Ensure that the environment is clean.
• Make sure that the environment is free from splash water and
vapors as well as from abrasion or processing dust. This
excludes products that are designed specially for contaminated
environments.
• Prevent the LOG hole grippers remain pressurized with
compressed air for a long time (> 1 hour) (e.g. in case of
machine shutdown or overnight). In addition, idle strokes
(opening the gripper without a workpiece) are to be avoided.
• For production reasons, it is possible that powder granules
come loose on the gripper (inside and outside) during
operation. Therefore, the use of a filter for the compressed air
is recommended.
