Safe condition
1. Clamping force block with workpiece:
Workpiece clamped outside the end positions of the clamping
force block with clamping pressure applied.
2. Clamping force block without workpiece, without clamping or
release pressure applied.
3. Clamping force block with spring force:
Clamped without energy without workpiece.
Special feature: Due to the built-in spring, an opened
clamping force block clamps without release pressure.
Unexpected clamping movements could result if the release
pressure fails. Take suitable measures, e.g. a pilot-controlled
check valve with manual venting.
Unexpected movements
If the system still retains residual energy, serious injuries can be
caused while working on the product.
Establish a safe state, switch off the energy supply, ensure
l
that no residual energy remains and secure against
inadvertent reactivation.
WARNING
Risk of injury in the event of workpiece loss due to component
failure on the product as a result of exceeding the technical data.
The product is only allowed to be used within the scope of its
l
technical data.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to immediate closing of the product with high
spring force in the event of pneumatic pressure failure (AS variant).
Wait for the system to come to a complete standstill in the
l
safe state.
Do not reach into the clamping force block.
l
WARNING
Danger of crushing due to the chuck jaws moving to the
workpiece during the clamping procedure when loading and
unloading manually.
Do not reach between the workpiece and the chuck jaw
l
during the clamping procedure.
Implement the safety functions according to the integrator's
l
risk assessment.
