  • Page 13 Caution 1. Avoid twisting the gripper when mounting an attachment. Any damage to the gripper may cause malfunction and reduce the accuracy. 2. Avoid external force to fingers. Fingers may be damaged by a continual lateral or impact load. Provide clearance to prevent the workpiece or the attachment from striking against any object at the stroke end.
