Processing on only one suction cup is not permitted. At least two suction cups must always be used, but ideally as many suction cups as possible. 01 | SMPL with ISST, SFM and ISBL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 1512656...
This should always be carefully observed and monitored, particularly during retraction, but also during processing. 01 | SMPL with ISST, SFM and ISBL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 1512656...
We therefore recommend storage in closed containers. Under ideal storage conditions, the maximum storage period is 2 to 4 years (storage of elastomer parts in accordance with DIN 7716). 01 | SMPL with ISST, SFM and ISBL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 1512656...
(see accessories: magnetic plugs or rubber mat). The cover of the open vacuum openings / suction cells also prevents cooling lubricants from being sucked in. 01 | SMPL with ISST, SFM and ISBL | Assembly- and Operating Manual | en-US | 1512656...
