6. Installation
For mechanical installation: Make sure to use the right screws and sealings and make sure to tighten the screws
with right torque, so no parts can disconnect during operation.
For pneumatical installation: Make sure to use the right diameter of tubing and your pneumatic setup not to
exceed the maximal operating pressure. Connect the tubing to the corresponding connectors. The number of
connections you have to make depends on the configuration of your SoftGripper. Verify, that all connections are
made, before operating the setup. The compressed air to operate the Controlbox and all our SoftGrippung
products must be in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4].
An unfavorable mounting position can impair the functionality of this product:
• Make sure to tighten the screws, so no parts can disconnect during operation.
•
Be sure not to handle SoftGrippers near sharp items or in corrosive
environments.
Warning!

unmounting the SoftGripper or disassembling it.
Keep the dangers of compressed air and the following points in mind:
• Make sure to connect and disconnect tubing while the compressor is turned
off.
• Do not bend the tubing excessively. The flow must be provided at any time.
• Check the tubing for leaks and abrasions. Verify that you are using suitable
tubing.
• Mind, that tubing with the right diameter must be used.
• The maximum input pressure should not be exceeded at any time.
MAXIMUM INPUT PRESSURE <1,2 bar
Warning! Injury caused by pressurized system. To minimize risks of injuries while
