INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series
EN / 2021-03-04
DDOC01219 / 0
8.3.7 "BasePosition" parameter
The "BasePosition" defines the target position in the "MoveToBase" direction. It must always be less than the "WorkPo
-
sition."
The gripper verifies this and, if necessary, indicates an error message.
If the current position of the gripper within the tolerance window is in the vicinity of the "BasePosition," bit 8 is set in the
"StatusWord."

8.3.8 "TeachPosition" parameter
"TeachPosition" is used to tell the gripper at which position the workpiece is expected. The "PositionTolerance" functions
around this position. Thus the gripper can distinguish whether a correct or incorrect workpiece has been gripped. Confir
-
mation that the correct workpiece has been gripped is communicated to the control system via the "StatusWord" parameter.
If the detection is correct, the "Teach" bit is set, thereby giving the user the option to monitor this work step.
By means of the position measuring system, it is possible to achieve a "TeachPosition" accuracy of +/- 0.05 mm.
The following values are to be used:
