Use the included screws and safety washers to mount the gripper on the robot. The required tight- ening torque can be found in the operating instructions of the robot system. The system must be attached securely, taking the weight of the system and its maximum load- bearing capacity into account. 8 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.01839/00...
If you select a supply hose that is too small, the compressed air supplied to the pneumatic ele- ments will not be enough for optimal operation. Compressed air supply The gripper type FXCB requires 161.5 l/min of compressed air. The compressed air supply integrated into robots is generally not sufficient. Ventilation The openings along the housing of the gripper serve as outlets for the exhaust air from the ejectors (only FXCB).
Electrical Connection The connection for control of the solenoid valve (only FXCB) and the vacuum switch is made using an 8-pole M12 connector that is integrated into the housing. The installed valve and the valve switch are switched via PNP.

The sealing plate must be compressed by at least 50% to ensure that the workpiece is securely gripped. Only FXCB: The gripper is reset to the “Suction” state by switching the “Suction OFF” pin (see chapter 5.4). In order for this to occur, there must be compressed air at the com- pressed air connection.
