    5. Drop-off of object with removal of vacuum and blow-off, if necessary. Warning! Vacuum shall be activated after the FGS has contact with the workpiece, otherwise the workpiece will not be gripped since the check valves will close and not allow the handling.
  • Page 11 •The maximum vertical acceleration allowed is 5 m/s². •The value measured through a vacuum switch in FGS module with check valves cannot be used as indication for a safe grip of the object. Due to the check valve, the vacuum level will be high even when the object is not present (check valve closed) since the vacuum level is detected inside the gripping module.
  • Page 12 4. Drop-off the object with removal of vacuum and blow-off if necessary. Note! If vacuum is activated before FGS is in contact with the workpiece, the workpiece will not be gripped since the suction cups will close and not allow the handling.
