Mounting Brackets. 4.2.1 Mounting the AFD1240-1 Vertical and AFD1240-2 Horizontal The AFD1240-1 and AFD1240-2 are supplied with a standard Mounting Bracket with a 90 mm three hole mounting pattern, See Figure 2. All three holes should be utilized to secure the Mounting Bracket to the robot mounting flange. If the Mounting Bracket is supplied blank or additional holes are required, it must first be removed from the device before drilling.

2 SCFM (56 l/min) must be installed. NOTE: PushCorp highly recommends the use of flexible polyurethane tubing as opposed to nylon tubing. This is because nylon tubing tends to crimp shut when it is bent.
The pneumatic supply system must be configured as described in Section 4.4. If the filter becomes clogged the 1240 Series will not function properly. Replacement Cartridge Filters may be purchased from PushCorp (Part No. PAR01943-1), or from the manufacturer directly (Parker, Part No. 050-05-DQ). To remove the Cartridge Filter loosen the Cartridge Filter Holder located on the side of the AFD base housing, See Figure 5.
It is highly recommended to adhere to the preventative maintenance schedule in order help extend the longevity of the specified PushCorp, Inc. equipment. Failing to do so could cause a loss in functionality as well as a decrease in product life.
