Constant speed with detection of the "OPEN" signal on electrode
1 or the switch
Constant speed with detection of the "CLOSE" signal on elec­
trode 2 or the switch
Proportional to the signal duration on the "CLOSE" electrode or
switch. The longer the signal is applied, the higher the gripping
force.
Constant speed of 200 mm/s for opening and closing
1 electrode
Slow, weak electrode signal that does not reach the upper
threshold within 80 ms.
Quick, strong electrode signal that reaches the upper threshold
within 80 ms.
Proportional to the signal duration. The longer the signal is
applied, the higher the gripping force
Constant speed of 200 mm/s for opening and closing
Switching off
1
Move the rocker switch to position 1 until it engages.
The electronics of the terminal device are switched off and the flex­
ion joint is blocked.
2
The friction can be adjusted by turning the Allen head screws
under the rocker switch.
Switching on
Move the rocker switch to position 2 until it engages.
The electronics of the terminal device are switched on and the flex­
ion brake is released. When the flexion brake is released, the ter­
minal device can be moved by 45° in both directions.
