Vacuum Connection; Connection Of Adapter Set Sbx - Schmalz FMHD Instruction Manual

Vacuum Connection

A hose that is suitable for vacuum applications must be connected at the installed hose connection and
secured with a suitable hose clamp. The supply hose must have the same nominal diameter as the
installed connection. The maximum recommended hose length is around 10 meters. A reduction of the
internal hose diameter or the use of longer hoses could impair the functionality of the system.
Vacuum
Once vacuum is applied in a gripper, it immediately begins suction when the cylin-
der is open.

Connection of Adapter Set SBX

Customers that are using the vacuum area gripper SBX can replace it with the gripper FMHD, which
was designed especially for this purpose, if the vacuum area gripper becomes damaged.
It can be replaced 1:1 in the existing system with an adapter cable and additional mechanical conversion
measures.
To do so, you attach the vacuum area gripper FMHD to the existing flange using the supplied washers.
Connect the compressed air coupling and Harting plug in the same way as before. The adapter cable is
designed to ensure the control unit does not have to be modified.
