10 Maintenance and cleaning
The maintenance and lubrication intervals must be adapted to the ambient and operating conditions. The
following factors should be taken into account here:
Extreme operating temperatures
The effects of condensation
High vibration loading
Use in a vacuum
Very dynamic operation
The effect of foreign substances (e.g. steam, acids, etc.)
Clean the module at regular intervals with a dry cloth to remove all soiling and metal chips. These typically
collect in the depressions, on the linear guides for the base jaws and on the edges of the housing.
Damage to the gripper is possible due to insufficient lubrication (dry-running) if the gripper con-
stantly goes through short movements. → every 1000 movements (or at least once per day) the
gripper should be moved through its full range of travel.
