Changing the operating pressure changes the power of the negative pressure at the vacuum connec- tion. This adjusts the vacuum at the suction gripper. Functions and parameters can be specified: – manually at the device – by teach-in Set the intensity of the ejector pulse Fig. 14 Festo — OVEM — 2019-03g...
When large suction grippers are used, a vacuum independent of the device may be built up for physic- al reasons. The result is that the workpiece may not be released from the suction gripper, even if the ejector pulse is set to a sufficiently long duration. Festo — OVEM — 2019-03g...
