  • Page 32: Maximum Forces

    6 Technical Data The power supply must correspond to the regulations in accordance with EN60204 (protected extra-low voltage). 6.4   Maximum Forces The holding force of the different grippers is limited; that is, the absorption of load forces and torques is limited. To prevent the load from shifting or even coming loose during the handling process, the operator of the respective gripper is therefore obliged to determine the optimum settings for the permitted process parameters for the handling process (load, acceleration, vacuum level, and so on) by performing testing and carefully increasing the load.
