CAUTION
Risk of crushing if the suction cup is abruptly attached to a workpiece
4
Do not place any body parts between the suction cup and the workpiece
Handling process
1. Placement of the gripper on the workpiece
– Position the gripper optimally on the workpiece
– Bellows suction cups must be compressed by at least 50%
2. Generate or establish vacuum
– Apply compressed air at the compressed air connection (variants with an internal vacuum supply)
– Apply vacuum at the vacuum connection (variants with an external vacuum supply)
3. Movement of the gripper after reaching the pre-set vacuum value
4. Lower workpieces onto clear, even surfaces
5. Only switch off the vacuum when the workpiece rests completely and safely on a secure surface
– When switching off the device, the suction cups are automatically ventilated
– Optionally, a blow-off pulse can be produced at the compressed air connection.
6. Return gripper to a neutral state, switch off SUCTION and BLOW-OFF
