Application Example External Gripping
Figure 19 shows an example of external gripping with the CRG 30-050 gripping module. An electrolytic ca-
pacitor is to be gripped at the casing and dropped into a fixture. The capacitor has a nominal diameter in the
gripping area of 15 mm. The gripping fingers have been configured in such a way that the nominal diameter
corresponds to a jaw spacing at the gripping module of 10 mm (half the total stroke). To ensure the reliability
of the gripping process, a position tolerance of ± 1 mm is set. Due to the low weight of the part, the gripping
force is set to 21 N. For the CRG 30-050, this means the gripping force is set to 70%. The part is parameterized
as GRIP 0 of the gripping module. For this purpose, the following parameters are set via the configuration
software of the IO-Link master or via the Weiss Robotics DC-IOLINK device configurator, which is available
separately:
GRIP 0:
NO PART Limit (index 0x60, subindex 0x01):
900
(= 9.00 mm)
RELEASE Limit (index 0x60, subindex 0x02):
1100 (= 11.00 mm)
Gripping force (index 0x60, subindex 0x03):
70
(= 70%, corresponding to 21 N)
If the module is parameterized via DC-IOLINK, the parameterized values must be stored remanently
in the gripping module before it is deactivated, see chapter 8.2.1.

The gripping process is performed via the program sequences in Figure 15 (grip part) and Figure 16. (release
part). Since GRIP 0 has been parameterized, the grip index 0 must be used in the program sequence. 0 was
