Installing the gripper
Installation, commissioning and operation may be undertaken by trained specialists only. They must have read and understood the
installation and operating instructions in full.
CAUTION:
Non-compliance may result in minor to serious injuries
Switch off the power supply for the electronics before any assembly, installation or maintenance work.

Risk of injury
NOTE:
Non-compliance may result in damage to the system
Switch off the power supply for the electronics before any assembly, installation or maintenance work.

Damage to the electronics possible
The gripper can be installed from several sides on a mounting surface that meets the specifications for evenness.
The following work steps are to be carried out to install the gripper:
► Insert centering sleeves into the provided matching parts on the gripper
► Position the gripper on the designated mounting surface using the centering sleeves
► Secure the gripper with cylinder screws of strength class 8.8
► Install the KAG1000B8 power supply cable (straight plug) or the KAW1000B8 power supply cable (angled plug)
NOTE:
Non-compliance may result in damage to the system
For details on the tightening torque, screw diameter and maximum weight and length of the gripper fingers, refer
to the "Technical data" tables on the website
.
Static charge
The seals move with the gripper jaws. This creates low voltages as a result of static charging. These charges cannot be
dissipated if the gripper is installed on an insulated surface,
nor can they be discharged through the workpiece.
NOTE:
Non-compliance may result in damage to the system
Grounding the gripper attachment/gripper jaws is recommended if ESD-sensitive parts* come into contact with
the gripper.
*) See "Glossary" section for definitions
Heat dissipation
In the event of high ambient temperatures and a high clock frequency, the gripper has to be installed on heat-dissipating
materials.
