3-2. Gripping force The gripping force shown in the graph to the right represents the gripping force of one finger when all fingers and attachments are in contact with the workpiece External gripping state. Internal gripping state.
3-3. Gripping point The air gripper should be operated so that the workpiece gripping point “L” and the amount of overhang “H” stay within the range shown for each operating pressure given in the graphs to the right. If the workpiece gripping point goes beyond the range limits, this will have an adverse effect on the life of the air gripper.

Use TMComponent Component OPEN node This component is used to open the gripper. It can be used to release a part after an outside grip or to grip a part with an inside grip. Success : The gripper completes to open (When Open_and_CheckSignal is set to false), or auto switch signal at open side is ON meaning a part is detected with an inside grip (Open_and_CheckSignal is set to true).
Page 22
Component CLOSE node This component is used to close the gripper. It can be used to grip a part with an outside grip or to release a part after an inside grip. Success : The gripper completes to close (When Close_and_CheckSignal is set to false), or auto switch signal at close side is ON meaning a part is detected with an outside grip (Close_and_CheckSignal is set to true).
5-4. Air supply ! Warning 1. Please contact SMC when using the product in applications other than with compressed air. 2. Compressed air containing a large amount of condensate can cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment. An air dryer or water separator should be installed upstream from filters. 3.
5-7. Lubrication ! Caution 1. The non-lube type air gripper is lubricated at the factory and can be used without any further lubrication. If a lubricant is used in the system, use turbine oil Class 1 (with no additive) ISO VG32. Furthermore, once lubrication is applied, it must be continued.
