INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series 6 Function The gripper jaws of the product are arranged parallel to each other on two opposing guide rails and can be moved relative to each other. The force of the motor is transmitted over a worm drive. Racks and a pinion generate the movement of the gripper jaws and synchronize these movements.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series 8 Commissioning 8.1 Commissioning the GEP2000IL-03 8.1.1 Process data The option exists for the gripper to be controlled only by the process data transmitted in each cycle. Outputs: Process data from the IO-Link master to the gripper!
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series When the hardware configuration is complete and the IO-Link connection to the product is established, some data must be visible in the process input data. Ö Some control systems demand a byte swap to bring this process data into a logical sequence.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series 8.3 Parameters 8.3.1 "ControlWord" parameter NOTICE In the "ControlWord" parameter, only one single bit or the value 0 may be set at a time. Only the values listed in the following table are valid.
Page 17
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series Bit 0: "DataTransfer" Setting this bit causes the product to acquire the data transmitted in the process data ("WorkpieceNo" = 0) or the data stored in the workpiece data records ("WorkpieceNo" = 1 to 32) as the active data set.
8.3.2 "DeviceMode" parameter "DeviceMode" is used to select one of the following travel mode options: universal operation, outside gripping or inside gripping. INFORMATION For operation of the product, Zimmer GmbH recommends "DeviceMode" 63, 73 and 103. Input Mode Description Like Mode 60, but with an activated subsequent current feed for a time of 500 ms when the direction of movement is "Work."...

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series 8.3.2.2 "forceprofile" movement profile This mode can be used for friction-locked gripping. The gripping force is built up by the movement speed of the jaws and the motor current. When gripping a workpiece, an independent mechanical locking system in the mechanical system is reached that makes it possible to hold the workpiece de-energized.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series NOTICE For exact positioning to the set "WorkPosition," and "BasePosition," the gripper starts with the braking process shortly before reaching the desired position. To reach full gripping force reliably, the following parameters can be used to disable the braking before the target position: "DeviceMode"...
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series 8.3.3 "WorkpieceNo" parameter The workpiece number is used for selecting the previously stored workpiece data, as well as for selecting the "WorkpieceNo" data record in which the current process data is stored.
4 stages. INFORMATION For the values for the gripping force, refer to the technical data sheet on our website www.zimmer-group.com. This data varies within the series, depending on the specific design. Please contact Zimmer Customer Service if you have any questions.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series 8.3.7 "BasePosition" parameter The "BasePosition" defines the target position in the "MoveToBase" direction. It must always be less than the "WorkPo- sition." The gripper verifies this and, if necessary, indicates an error message.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series The following steps are required for the "fault acknowledgment": • If the gripper has a malfunction, the error bit is set in the status word. • This malfunction can be reset by sending "ControlWord" = 0x8000 .
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series 8.3.12 "ActualPosition" parameter The parameter "ActualPosition" corresponds to the current position of the gripper jaws relative to the full stroke. The value is specified with a resolution of 0.01 mm.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series 8.4 Minimum travel path The gripper requires a certain "minimum travel path" to move to the desired position. Design size Minimum travel path GEP2006IL-03 1.0 mm per gripper jaw GEP2010IL-03 1.0 mm per gripper jaw...
