Work cycle details

Work cycle details for Flow reduction and Bag cup version:
The working cycle for a KCS gripping module follows the steps showed in the bellow:
1. Positioning the module at the object to handle with the grip pad parallel to the grip surface.
2. Lowering of module until contact with the grip surface. For fast cycle we suggest to activate vacuum
before be in contact with the object.
3. Pick-up of object to handle
4. Drop-off of object with removal of vacuum and blow-off if necessary
N.B. In this case, the activation for vacuum can be done before or after the contact with the workpiece.
►Stopping or passing through the work area of the gripper module is prohibited, as in
case of electrical or pneumatic supply failure, the load handled by the module is released.
►With the Flow reduction technology, the vacuum value in the gripper is the real
vacuum level on the object, so in this case the vacuum switch can be used to check the
grip.
►Take in consideration that the vacuum level is influenced by the degree of coverage on
the gripper and the porosity of object..
Note: We recommend always running preliminary tests with original samples. We are able to perform these tests
for you.
