Note on the specifications for the load limits These specifications apply for static loads. The maximum load limits given here apply to the RECB only. For use in connection with an HRC-capable robot, observe the maximum weight limits determined by the manufacturer of the robot.
Potential contact with sharp-edged components during connection work Hand injuries! 4 Wear suitable work gloves. The RECB must not be exposed to strong vibrations. Always apply a low-strength threadlocker to the fastening screws (e.g. Loctite 221) after opening and closing the housing.
7.2.1 Connecting the RECB to the Compressed Air and Electrical Connection The RECB must be opened to connect it to the compressed air supply and to establish the electrical connection. ü Size 3 Allen wrench is available. ü Low-strength threadlocker (e.g. Loctite 221) is available.

9. Hoses can push the compact ejector away slightly and generate slight resistance when the compact ejector is inserted. Press the compact ejector lightly onto the alu- minum insert. ð Ensure that the compact ejector is aligned with the front opening on the housing. This makes it easier to place and position the compact ejector.
Screw the two housing shells tight with the pre- pared machine screws. 3 mm Allen wrench, 1 Nm tightening torque. 13. Turn the RECB over. 14. Wet the four M4x30 and the two M4x20 machine screws with low-strength threadlocker. Tighten the screws with a 3 mm torque wrench and tightening torque of 1 Nm.

11. Check the fit of the hoses in the plug connections (vacuum and compressed air) and ensure complete insertion. 12. Close the RECB (see section 7.2.1, steps 11 to 14). EN-US · 30.30.01.02586 · 02 · 09/22 15 / 20...
The RECB is adapted to a collaborative robot using an interchangeable flange adapter plate. The markings on the flange and on the housing of the RECB must be observed, as these determine the orientation of the display and the suction cup on the robot.
