Vg10/Vgc10 - OnRobot HEX-E QC User Manual

MAINTENANCE
9.5. SG
For the SG Base Part
WARNING:
Please, clean the SG Base Part regularly by using a cloth and a cleaning agent
with a pH value between 6-8.
When cleaning the SG Base Part please keep it mounted on the robot to
prevent water getting into the connector.
After cleaning, use a cloth and clean water, to rinse of any leftover cleaning
agent.
Please ensure that the used cleaning agent does not contain chlorine as this
can lead to corrosion.
WARNING:
On a regular basis, check that the silicone bellow has not come loose from
neither the aluminum base nor the Smart Lock male. If the bellow is not sitting
correctly, this can lead to water seeping into the SG base part.
For the SG Tools
The silicone part and the smart lock female are
dishwasher and autoclave safe, at
temperatures =< 120°C (248°F).
Various cleaners can be used for cleaning the
silicone part. Dish soap. Alcohol, regular
ethanol, isopropanol and acetone works as
well for cleaning.
Do not use concentrated acids and alkalis,
since these can potentially damage the
silicone, in particularly oxidizing acids such as
sulfuric or nitric acid. It is recommended to use
cleaning agent with a pH value between 2 and
13.
On a regular basis, please do a visual inspection of the smart-lock female and the ball spring.
If needed clean it with a brush or cloth.

9.6. VG10/VGC10

The VG grippers are equipped with one filter for each suction cup socket, and one filter for
the exhaust. How often the filters need to be changed depends on the nature of the work
piece and the working environment. The VG grippers automatically de-dust the filters every
time a grip is released. However, particles can eventually get stuck and build up inside the
filter, lowering the VG grippers performance.
A filter service kit is available, which include both new filters and tools needed.
