2-6 Step 5: Supply Compressed Air
Supply Compressed Air
WARNING
The pressure of the supplied compressed air must be not more than 1 MPa.
Exceeding this may cause rupture or other serious accident.
WARNING
Ensure no contamination of the supplied compressed air by any water, oils,
chemicals, or foreign objects.
Components may deteriorate or rupture, or the contaminants may be scattered,
posing a hazard.
Attach an air hose.
Secure in place with the small re-
taining band.
Attaching and detaching the air hose
To connect
Insert firmly as far as it will go.
To detach
Press and hold the ring and pull out.
Once compressed air is being sup-
plied, check to make sure no air leaks
from connections or other areas.
Next, slowly turn the regulator knob
to adjust until the meter reads 0.5 to
0.65 MPa.
Important Note on Adjusting the
Pressure
Be sure to adjust to an air pressure of
not more than 0.7 MPa. Exceeding this
may cause malfunction.
Continue by proceeding with "2-7 Step 6: Adjust the Tool-change Location."
