2.5.3. Gripper Configurations (ACS150 and ACS200)
The grippers are configurable in both normally-closed and normally-open modes. The center shaft of the ACS
stages has two sets of mounting holes for the three-jaw grippers, one for a normally-open configuration and
one for a normally-closed configuration. See
mounting screw locations on the gripper itself. The following is the procedure to change configurations:
1. Remove power to the stage and disconnect air supply.
2. Remove the three gripper mounting screws.
3.
Figure 2-12
shows the locations of the set screws in the gripper based on which configuration is
desired. Move the set screws as necessary.
4. It will be necessary to move an O-Ring on the shaft.
Ring grooves. One O-Ring should always be around the air inlet hole, and the other must be moved to
help seal the gripper. Move the O-Ring as necessary so that the set screw in the gripper will be
surrounded by an O-Ring when it is bolted to the stage.
5. Bolt the gripper to the stage shaft using the holes labeled either "NC" (normally-closed), or "NO"
(normally-open).
6. Restore power and air supply to the stage.
