6 Description of Functions 6 Description of Functions 6.1 Applying Suction to the Workpiece/Part (Vacuum Generation) The ejector is designed for handling and holding workpieces by means of a vacuum in combination with suction systems. The vacuum is generated in a nozzle according to the venturi principle, using suction generated by the flow of accelerated compressed air.
6 Description of Functions During blow off, [-FF] is shown on the display. The ejector provides two blow off modes for selection: • Externally controlled blow off • Internally time-controlled blow off 6.3 Monitoring the system vacuum and defining limit values The ejector has integrated sensors for measuring the vacuum.
6 Description of Functions 6.5.2 Control The ejector switches off vacuum generation when the switching point SP1 is reached and switches it back on when the vacuum falls below the reset point rP1. The switching point evaluation for SP1 follows the control function.
6 Description of Functions This function is executed using the parameter [rE5] in the EF menu. The factory settings for the ejector are listed in the Technical Data section. WARNING By activating/deactivating the product, output signals lead to an action in the pro- duction process! Personal injury 4 Avoid possible danger zone.
6 Description of Functions Displayed section 0. 4 8 61. 8 Digit block The current counter total in this example is 48 618 593. Counter levels that cannot be deleted are saved only in increments of 1000. That means that when the operating voltage is switched off, up to 999 counter steps are lost.
