To verify that the gripper is able to open and close properly, in the Jog Gripper Axes area,
click Open gripper and Close gripper. Watch the gripper movement as you do so.
Under normal operating conditions, you do not need to change the gripper speed.
However, for troubleshooting purposes, you might want to change the speed when you
check other gripper functions.
To set the gripper speed:
In the Jog Gripper Axes area, select the desired speed (Slow, Medium, or Fast) in the
Speed list.
Note: The speed setting applies only for Diagnostics and does not apply to the closing
grip action.
The gripper has a defined home position for each axis of its motion. Homing sends the
gripper to the home position of the axes.
Homing the gripper is done automatically during startup. However, you might want to
home the gripper during troubleshooting processes.
To home the gripper:
In the Zg-Axis or G-Axis areas, click Home Zg or Home G. The gripper moves to the
predefined position on the corresponding axis.
