Basic Safety Notes 

2.1

 

Intended Use 

The module was designed to grip and temporarily and securely hold work pieces and objects. The module is 
intended for installation in a machine/system. The requirements of the applicable guidelines as well as the 
mounting and operating notes in this manual must be observed and complied with. The gripping module may 
only be used in the context of its defined application parameters and only in industrial applications.   
Any other use or use exceeding the intended use is deemed improper, e.g. when the gripping module is used 
as a pressing, cutting, lifting, or punching tool, or when it is used as a clamping device or guide for other tools. 
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from such use.
