OnRobot VG10 User Manual page 13

The indicator Actual and Target slide bar shows and defines, respectively, the current
and target vacuum in each channel. The 'Grip' button will start the pump and generate
vacuum at the selected level on the selected channel(s) to allows for easy verification
of the dialed in settings. The Release button makes it convenient to terminate the
test-grip and releasing any workpieces that may be held by the selected channel. The
Tandem button allows to control both channels at the same time when checked.

INFO
• Setting a lower vacuum gives a faster grip with less wear on the
vacuum cups. It also reduces the risk of leaving suction marks on
delicate work pieces.
• It can take a few seconds when pressing "Play" or "Test" before
the robot program starts. This is normal.
•
When the two channels are set to different vacuum percentages
the VG10 automatically releases air into the channel with lower
pressure. This feature is activated when the pressure is more
than 20% vacuum over the setting. Releasing air generates a
characteristic rumbling sound and change in pumping speed.
