Operation time adjustment method for holding / releasing the workpiece
The piston operation time during workpiece holding / release can be adjusted by adjusting the
opening of the metering speed controller valve.
* (1) Workpiece holding time: Time required when the piston and magnet travel from the workpiece
release position to the workpiece holding position
* (2) Workpiece release time: Time required when the piston and magnet travel from the workpiece
holding position to the workpiece release position
* Use a flat blade screwdriver for adjusting the restriction of the metering valves.
* Keep the restriction of the two metering valves approximately the same. If they are different too
much, the operation may become unstable.
