3. Installation Steps
Pre-installation Preparation
- Confirm that the gripper model matches the installation environment
- Check the gripper for any damage or defects
- Prepare necessary installation tools and accessories
- Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean
Installation Process
- Select the appropriate mounting method based on space and orientation requirements
- Secure the gripper to the mounting position using suitable bolts:
- 6-10mm bore: M3 bolts
- 16-20mm bore: M4 bolts
- 25mm bore: M5 bolts
- Connect the air supply lines, ensuring secure connections
- Install magnetic switches (if applicable) and adjust to the proper position
- Install gripper fingers, selecting the appropriate finger type based on workpiece shape
- Check all connections for tightness and security
Installation Notes
- Apply thread locker to mounting bolts to prevent loosening
- Torque bolts according to specifications, avoiding over-tightening or under-tightening
- Ensure proper alignment between the gripper and workpiece
- Allow sufficient movement space to prevent collisions
- Ensure correct and leak-free piping connections
- Maintain proper spacing when installing multiple grippers side by side
- Avoid subjecting the gripper to excessive radial loads and moments during installation
- Ensure symmetrical installation of gripper fingers to avoid uneven loading
4. Operation Guide
Pre-operation Inspection
- Confirm air supply pressure is within the specified range
- Check all connections for security
- Ensure a clean working environment to prevent contamination
- Verify proper operation of magnetic switches (if installed)
- Check gripper finger installation for security and proper positioning
Operation Procedure
- Slowly open the air supply valve to allow the gripper to actuate gradually
- Observe gripper operation for smoothness and abnormal noise
- Test the operation of magnetic switches (if installed)
- Adjust operating pressure and flow as needed
- Perform no-load test runs before applying load operation
Operation Notes
- Do not exceed the rated pressure
- Avoid long-term high-speed operation without lubrication
- Do not strike the gripper body or fingers
- Regularly inspect gripper operation and shut down immediately if abnormalities are detected
- Do not adjust or disassemble components while the gripper is operating
- Protect the gripper finger surfaces from scratches or contamination
- Avoid subjecting the gripper to excessive lateral loads
- Ensure good contact between gripper fingers and workpiece to prevent slipping
5. Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
- Keep the gripper exterior clean
- Check for stable air supply pressure
- Inspect connections for leaks
- Listen for abnormal operating sounds
- Check gripper finger wear
Regular Maintenance
-
Weekly inspection:
- Gripper operating condition
- Tightness of connections
- Magnetic switch operation (if installed)
- Gripper finger wear condition
-
Monthly inspection:
- Internal gripper condition
- Seal condition
- Gripper finger tightness
-
Quarterly inspection:
- Replacement of worn seals
- Comprehensive gripper cleaning
- Gripper finger lubrication
Maintenance Notes
- Use recommended lubricants
- Avoid using corrosive cleaning agents
- Ensure air supply is shut off during maintenance
- Use matching seal replacements
- Clean gripper fingers with a soft, clean cloth to avoid scratches
- Regularly check the reliability of magnetic switches
- Replace gripper fingers when wear is severe
