Warning
1. Maintenance should be performed according to the procedure indicated in the Operation
Manual.
If handled improperly, malfunction and damage of machinery or equipment may occur.
2. If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous. Assembly, handling, repair and
element replacement of pneumatic systems should be performed by a knowledgeable
and experienced person.
3. Remove drainage from air filters regularly.
4. When components are removed, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent any
workpieces from dropping, run-away of equipment, etc.
Then cut off the supply pressure and electric power, and exhaust all compressed air from
the system using the residual pressure release function.
Turn off the power supply, stop the air supply and exhaust all compressed air from the
system.
When machinery is restarted, proceed with caution after confirming that appropriate
measures are in place to prevent cylinders from sudden movement.
5. Do not allow people to enter or place objects in the carrying path of the air gripper.
This can cause an injury or accident, etc.
6. Do not put hands, etc. in between the air gripper fingers or attachments.
This can cause an injury or accident, etc.
7. When removing the air gripper, first confirm that no workpieces are being held and then
release the compressed air before removing the air gripper.
If a workpiece is still being held, there is a danger of it being dropped.
8. If a workpiece is to be gripped by using the toggle, make sure to periodically check that the
workpiece has not shifted during the acceleration of the movement.
If the workpiece is not gripped in a stable manner, it could shift or drop and create a
dangerous situation.
If the workpiece is not gripped in a stable manner, use shims on the attachment to adjust the
gripped.
To verify the gripping condition or to make any adjustments, make sure to do so in an area
where the air gripper or the workpiece will not fall.
