6.6 Installing and adjusting inductive proximity switches
Using the inductive proximity switches, any
desired position of the gripper fingers can be
detected directly at the mechanical system.
Inductive proximity switches can be used in
ascending order starting from sizes GPP/GPD
5006!
The following variants are excluded:
GPP/GPD50
-
AL
-A
The following work steps must be observed when
installing/adjusting inductive proximity switches:
► Insert the inductive proximity switch
bq
in
designated mounting block
3
.
►
Slide in as far as it will go and secure with
clamping screw
bu
.
► Connect the inductive proximity switch
bq
to
the operating voltage (10 - 30 V DC).
►
Bring the gripper jaws into the desired grip-
ping position.
►

6.7 Installing a customer-specific support
structure
It is possible to remove the cover plate
cm
installed by the manufacturer in order to use a
customer-specific support structure.
The dimensions required for the customer-spe-
cific support structure are referenced in the
technical data sheet found on our website at
Ö
www.zimmer-group.com
The dimension
cn
must under no circum-
stances be exceeded by the customer-specific
support structure. The support structure must
be designed such that it does not impede the
movement of the gripper jaws.
The dimension
cl
may be exceeded by the
customer-specific support structure.
There are additional blind holes with fits for a customer-specific connection below the cover plate
cm
.
INFORMATION:
Make sure to observe the following for GPD 5000 series grippers:
If the gripper has been mounted using a pressure piece, no additional support structure can be incorporated.
CAUTION:
Non-compliance may result in injuries!
The customer-specific support structure must not collide with other parts of the machine in which the gripper is
installed while the gripper is moving.
