Pressure drops below minimum. Check air supply. } 3 [/ 15] Component part defective. Replace component or send it to SCHUNK for repair. 5.5 Product does not achieve the opening and closing times Possible cause Corrective action Compressed air lines are not installed If present: Open the flow control couplings on optimally.
The base jaws of the guides are matched to each other. To have these parts replaced, send the complete rail system along with a repair order to SCHUNK or order the rail system set as a spare part. 6.1.2 Exchanging the rail and base jaws The carriages of the rail system are matched to each other and cannot be exchanged separately.
Wear safety goggles and protective gloves. Observe information on the safety data sheet of the lubricant. During maintenance, treat all greased areas with lubricant. Thinly apply lubricant with a lint-free cloth. SCHUNK recommends the lubricants listed. Lubricant point Lubricant Metallic sliding surfaces Rivolta F.L.G.
Maintenance The carriages of the roller system can be regreased via grease nipples. To do this, insert grease nipples at the end faces (arrows). Always ensure that the same lubricant is used in order to avoid gumming in the lubrication channels. Should a different lubricant be used, a compatibility test will need to be carried out.
Maintenance 6.4.2 Variant with gripping force maintenance Position of the item numbers } 6.6 [/ 36] WARNING Risk of injury due to unexpected movements! If the power supply is switched on or residual energy remains in the system, components can move unexpectedly and cause serious injuries.
Maintenance Carefully remove the pre-loaded spring assemblies on both sides. Keep the pre-loaded spring assemblies in a safe place away from dirt and external stresses during maintenance. Remove seals (31). Unscrew the screws (121). Pull out cylinder pistons (4), ensuring that the cylinder running surface does not become damaged.
