Modifications to the PG precision gripper that are not described in this Montage In- structions or have not been approved in writing by the company Afag Automation AG are not permitted. In case of improper changes or assembly, installation, operation, maintenance or repairs, Afag Automation AG rejects all liability.
Description of the module parts The Afag PG precision gripper is the right solution when it comes to gripping and precise insertion of parts. The PG precision grippers are precise and compact gripping modules designed for gripping oriented serial parts. They can be combined with other modules from the Afag modular kit.
If add-ons at the PG grippers could cause danger in connection with the gripper fingers a safe operation must be ensured. PG 12-PG 16-PG 20-OI-v.1.2 gb.13.12.12...
Installation and fastening possibilities The PG precision grippers can be installed in a vertical and horizontal position. The Afag module components are provided with a precise module centring which guarantees a high and repetitive accuracy of fit during installation, operation and ex- change of a module.
The gripper fingers are positioned by means of centring bushings; in addition we recommend to provide a recess or a groove on the grip- per fingers to secure them against twisting (see drawing below). Example: connecting geometry gripper fingers PG 12-PG 16-PG 20-OI-v.1.2 gb.13.12.12...
