6.1. SoftGripper
Depending on the selected product, a SoftGripper comes assembled or unassembled. The following steps
shows you how to install your SoftGripper. These steps are also to be used for replacement of the components.
Mounting or Replacing a SoftGripper Finger
To replace a SoftGripper Finger, loosen the finger fixing screw D on the base (M3x20 ISO 7380 TX).
Take a new Finger G (Part No. SG.FI.S60).
For replacing we recommend to use a new 3x1 mm sealing J. The screw can be further used.
To mount a SoftGripper Finger at a base, use the truss head (TX) screw D M3x20 ISO 7380 and the 3x1 mm
sealing
J. Use a torque screwdriver to mount with 0.7 Nm (0.5 lbf⋅ft). The sealing has to be placed in the groove at
the base before.
