2.5.8 Air supply circuit example for the hand
Fig. 2-12
shows an example of pneumatic supply circuitry for the hand.
(1) Place diodes parallel to the solenoid coil.
(2) When the factory pneumatic pressure drops, as a result of the hand clamp strength weakening, there can be
damage to the work. To prevent it, install a pressure switch to the source of the air as shown in
use the circuit described so that the robot stops when pressure drops. Use a hand with a spring-pressure
clamp, or a mechanical lock-type hand, that can be used in cases where the pressure switch becomes dam -
aged.
(3) The optional hand and solenoid valve are of an oilless type. If they are used, don't use any lubricator.
