General Description of Functions 5 General Description of Functions 5.1 Picking up the Workpiece (Vacuum Generation) The ejector is designed for vacuum handling of airtight parts in combination with suction systems. The vacuum is generated in a nozzle according to the Venturi principle, using suction generated by the flow of accelerated compressed air.
General Description of Functions If settings are changed, undefined states of the system may occur for a short time (for approx. 50 ms). 5.3.2 Manual Operating Mode WARNING Through an external signal, manual operation is exited, external signals are evalu- ated and system parts move. Personal injury or damage to property due to collisions 4 Ensure that the danger zone of the system is clear of people during operation.
General Description of Functions 5.4 Viewing and Setting Parameters The following parameters can be set for the ejector: • The vacuum limit value H1 for the control • The vacuum limit value H2 for the signal output • The blow off period for the time-controlled blow off The hystereses for the vacuum limit values are pre-defined.
General Description of Functions 1. Press the button to select the parameter to be changed: Press once => first parameter “Vacuum limit value H1” Press twice => second parameter “Vacuum limit value H2” Press three times => third parameter “Blow off time” ð...
General Description of Functions 5.10 Supply Voltage Display In operating modes in which no LEDs are activated, the “Max” LED lights up briefly. This indicates a sup- ply voltage. 5.11 Signal Type The signal type, or the ejector switching behavior (PNP or NPN) of the electrical signal inputs and the sig- nal output, is permanently set on the device and is therefore dependent on the ejector version.
General Description of Functions 5.14 Vacuum unit The vacuum level in the LED bar is shown as a percentage of the maximum possible vacuum. If the vacuum is outside the permitted range, the LED next to this bar flashes rapidly. That means the LED flashes “10%”...
