CAUTION
When using the product in a cutting, casting, or welding plant, install a cover to prevent
foreign matters such as cutting fluid, chips, powder, and dust from entering.
Do not use the equipment in the following environments.
• Where cutting oil can splash onto the product (abrasives and polishing powder in the oil can
abrade the sliding section)
• Where organic solvents, chemicals, acids, alkalis, and kerosene are present
• Where water can splash onto the product
When gripping a long object or large work-piece, the center of gravity must be gripper to
provide stable prehension. It is also necessary to stabilize prehension by increasing the
size or using multiple jaws.
Select a modle that has sufficient power to grip the work-piece weight.
Select a model that has sufficient opening/closing width for the work-piece size.
If directry inserting the work-piece into the jig with the hand, consider clearance during
design to avoid damaging the hand.
Note :The work-piece is side along the top of the small jaw, so gripper life could drop markedly.
Sufficient consideration should be made for the shape of the small jaw.
Ajust the gripper opening/closing speed with a speed control valve. When using at high
speed, play may be faster, the work-piece vibrates due to the shock at opening and closing,
causing a gripper error, work-piece insertion error, poor repeatability.
Condensation (water drops) may occur in the piping under certain conditions if an actuator
with small bore size or short stroke is operated at high frequency. Use a quick exhaust valve
to prevent condensation.
