6.4 Assembly measures
-
During the mounting of the gripper actuator or gripper jaws on the gripper actuator,
do not allow the system to be subjected to impermissible forces or moments.
-
The flatness of the mounting surfaces must be less than 0.02mm.
-
Select the correct means of connection with a load that has its own guidance
mechanism and ensure that this is adequately aligned.
-
Avoid contact with the gripper actuator during operation.
-
Select a suitable screw tightening torque for mounting of the gripper actuator or loads
on the gripper actuator in accordance with the generally valid guidelines for screw
connections.
6.5 Measures for the initial operation
Please read this user manual carefully. Knowledge of this user manual is essential in
order to prevent errors and ensure problem-free operation.
Under no circumstances may gripper actuators be operated with oiled air if they
are subsequently to be operated with oil-free air.
-
Check the technical specifications.
-
Do not use the device until you have checked that it functions correctly taking
account of all permissible operating parameters.
-
Regulate the operating speed of the cylinder by means of throttle type non-return
valves. Increase from the low speed to higher speeds until the required operating
speed is reached.
Selection and dimensioning
-
Do not subject the units to loads that exceed the limits of their operating range. If
excessive loads are applied , the gripper jaw guidance system and closing mechan-
ism could suffer damage or inaccuracies. The maximum permissible loads are given
in our standard catalogue.
-
Do not allow the system to experience impermissible forces or shocks and do not use
excessively long gripper jaws. The maximum permissible gripper jaw length is given
in our standard catalogue.
