FIPA Spider vacuum traverse
5. OPERATION
Device settings
The vacuum traverse must be centrally attached to the goods being handled by means of a crane
system with a chain hoist. All vacuum cupsmust be attached to the material being
handled. If the size of panels changes frequently, the vacuum cups can be provided with shut-off
valves as an option.
When using shut-off valves, please note that they must be opened again immediately after
use. Forgetting to do this reduces the holding force, which could cause the load to fall!
Vacuum generation can now be started with the on/off switch.
An acoustic warning signal sounds until the
requisite vacuum has been reached.
The vacuum traverse is not ready for use until
the acoustic warning signal has stopped and the
needle on the pressure gauge indicates a value
of
-600mbar
(in the green region).
