Cleanliness of the Gripper surface influences friction between parts and the Gripper, keep your Gripper clean and away from debris generators.

Follow the specified maintenance intervals.

3.3 Mechanical connections

You must use a coupling to attach the Gripper to the robot. Be sure to use the coupling related to your robot model. If there is no coupling for your robot,

you can modify a blank coupling model or Robotiq can create a custom version based on blanks in section 6.6 for you or you can build one based on the

dimensions in section 6.6.1.1. Please see Robotiq support Options and Spare Parts section for a list of available coupling and adapters.

Here are the steps to follow for the installation of the Gripper (see Figure 3.3.1). Note that all screws must be locked in place using medium strength

thread locker (Loctite 248).

1. Screw the Coupling to your robot arm (if your cables are running through the robot, be sure to use a Coupling with a groove).

a. If you are using an Adapter Plate, it must be mounted first on the robot arm, using the dowel pins for indexing and the screws to secure the

adapter plate in place.

b. Attach the Coupling to the robot arm using the correct dowel pins for indexing.

c. Secure the Coupling with the coupling (robot) screws.

2. Insert the Gripper's Universal Wrist into the coupling and align the indexing dowel pin with the associated hole.

3. Secure the Gripper to the Coupling with the radial screws.
