CALIBRATING IN-DIRECT SENSOR
Sensor must be calibrated whenever any part of the gripper is replaced including pads.
1. Part Present
a.) To program the sensor for a particular material thickness, apply air to the gripper and grip on the material
thickness which is to be used for the particular job. With an object such as a small Allen wrench, press the
button until the Red LED corresponding to the material range of the job lights as shown on the label.
b.) Verify calibration:
(1) Close the gripper with no material between the pads. The LED should be off.
(2) Close the gripper on a single blank of material. The Red LED corresponding to your material range
should be on.
