INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Gripper, pneumatically intelligent, GPP/GPD5000-IL series
6. Function
6.1 GPP5006/08/10IL
The gripper fingers of the parallel gripper are arranged parallel to each other on two opposing guide rails and can be
moved relative to each other. Compressed air is used to supply power. The compressed air moves an internal pneumatic
piston. The stroke movement of this pneumatic piston is redirected to the gripper jaws via a connecting rod. This generates
the movement of the gripper jaws. An internal spring is used to retain the gripping force if there is a drop in pressure (only
for spring variants).

6.3 GPD5006/08/10IL
The gripper fingers of the three-jaw gripper are each positioned between two steel guide rails.
Compressed air that moves a piston is used to supply power. The stroke movement of the piston is redirected to the gripper
jaws via a connecting rod. This generates the movement of the gripper jaws. An internal spring is used to retain the grip-
ping force if there is a drop in pressure (only for spring variants).
