C27UE001-2109 1. General Product Introduction HIWIN is a world leader in reliable and precise linear motion. We offer several plug-and-play solutions for collaborative robots in automation. This manual describes the operation procedures of HIWIN’s parallel electric gripper, the S-series and the X-series. HIWIN’s electric grippers are made with ball-screws and linear guideways from HIWIN itself which allows us to offer our customers a reliable and high-quality gripping solution at a reasonable price range.
◎ Damage caused by any natural disaster. i.e., fire, earthquake, tsunami, lightning, windstorms, floods etc. HIWIN does not provide any warranty or compensation to all the damage caused by above-mentioned circumstances unless the user can prove that the product is defective.
C27UE001-2109 3. Technical Information 3.1. Integrated parallel electric gripper S-series [Note 1] This gripping force is measured at a gripping point (L) of 20mm with a gripping force accuracy of ±25%. [Note 2] This gripping force is measured at a gripping point (L) of 20mm with a gripping force accuracy of ±30%. [Note 3] Moving velocity is 45mm/s.
C27UE001-2109 3.2. Parallel electric gripper X-series [Note 1] The weight of workpiece(kg) * acceleration of gravity 9.81(m/s2) should be 1/10~1/20 of the gripping force(N).If the gripper holding a workpiece moves or turns with high-acceleration/ deceleration, choose the model with higher force allowance. [Note 2] Set the parameters and operation mode to avoid application of excessive impact force to the attachments (fingers) during operation.
C27UE001-2109 4.4. Installing TM Plug&Play software package TM Plug&Play is an independent software package provided for the robot. For Plug&Play supported items, the user does not need to write additional programs, and does not need to read the manuals of both parties before integrating, only need to import the software package and can use in TMflow directly.

Please confirm whether the corresponding instruction set is enable and the corresponding Command will be added in the Command list.
C27UE001-2109 flow and execute once, and two Components are used in sequence (remember that HIWIN S-series grippers need to be executed with SET Component before can be used). In practical applications, the robot uses the FreeBot button, working with the buttons of end record gripper and point, to complete flow programming without TMflow control.

C27UE001-2109 1. SET component needs use command to communicate with robot before using the gripper 2. For the SEG gripper, when the SET component is activated, the gripper will execute the RESET program. The gripper will move inward to confirm the origin position, and then open to the maximum stroke position.
Page 16
C27UE001-2109 RELEASE components: 1. The gripper will open outward to the maximum stroke. 2. If using the SEG gripper and finish function button setting, the gripper will move mode [Note1] to the FREE point. For the advanced FREE point setting of the SEG gripper, please refer to chapter [Note1] Motion speed of the move mode will faster than normal mode.
C27UE001-2109 4.6. Function button descriptions For more information about the function button descriptions and setup process of the electric gripper SEG-24, please refer to the following:...
Page 18
C27UE001-2109 Function button descriptions: [Description 1] This function button can be used only when gripper Ready = OFF. [Description 2] After re-connected to power, reset must be executed first (press GRIP and FREE at the same time). Then, the function button can be used to move the gripper. Or the Ready light would sparkle 5 times rapidly to warn the user.
