The module may be used only in the context of its defined applica- tion parameters( 6, Page 13). SCHUNK assumes that application in question was tested with the calculation program for gripping modules (SSG). To use this unit as intended, it is also essential to observe the technical data and installation and operation notes in this manual and to comply with the maintenance intervals.
2.4.3 Constructional changes, attachments, or modifications Additional drill holes, threads, or attachments that are not offered as accessories by SCHUNK may be attached only with permission of SCHUNK. Personnel qualification The assembly, initial commissioning, maintenance, and repair of the module may be performed only by trained specialist person- nel.
• Only specially trained staff should disassemble the module. WARNING Risk of injury from objects falling and being ejected Avoidance: The danger zone must be surrounded by a safety fence during operation.
