)
Check before and after the maintenance work
When the product is to be removed, turn off the power supply, and be sure to cut off the supply pressure and
exhaust the compressed air. Confirm that the air is released to atmosphere.
When mounting the product after the maintenance work, supply compressed air, connect to the power, check
if it functions properly and have a leakage inspection.

Maintenance work
Compressed air can be dangerous when handled incorrectly. Therefore, in addition to observing the product
specifications, replacement of silencer and other maintenance activities should be performed by personnel
with sufficient knowledge and experience pertaining to pneumatic equipment.
4
)
Draining
Remove condensate from air filters and mist separators regularly. If the collected drainage is drained to the
downstream side, it can stick inside of the product, causing operation failure and failure to reach the specified
vacuum pressure.
5
)
Replace the silencer built into the vacuum gripper regularly.
It is recommended to replace the silencer when the pressure drop reaches 5kPa as a guideline. The
replacement cycle varies depending on the operating conditions, operating environment and supply air quality.
However, if there is a vacuum pressure drop and/or delay in the vacuum (gripping) response time which
causes problem with the settings during operation, stop the operation of the product and replace the silencer
regardless of the above mentioned replacement guideline.
