for reassembly.
2. Top jaw should always be removed first. Remove SHCS from side plate or indirect
sensor. Rotate side plate/sensor up to about 45° and remove side plate/sensor from
gripper. Set SHCS and Side Plate/Sensor aside for re-assembly. Remove bumper
from gripper.
3. Remove jaw from gripper and flip gripper over to remove other jaw

C. Jaw Removal (cont.)
5. Remove bushing from lower jaw using a small flat screwdriver or hex key and set aside
for re-assembly. Lower jaw should be rotated completely down before removal. Lift up on
front of jaw by pad so there is an angle between jaw and frame. Remove lower jaw from
gripper.
5. Refer to step E-2 to set bumper position. Refer to step B for installing a Side Plate or
Indirect Sensor.
D. Jaw Replacement
1. For lower jaws (10151,11105,11105-01, 11105-02, 11106, 11106-01, 11106-
02,11103,12978,12978-01, 12978-02, 12985, 12985-01, 12985-02): Apply grease to
cam and inside of jaw. Angle new jaw so that tail of jaw goes in pocket of frame. Align
pivot hole with boss and drive pin with the bottom side of the cam slot. Carefully slide
jaw over boss and onto gripper. Replace bushing over pin and into cam. Apply grease
to outside of jaw.
4. For upper jaws: Apply grease to cam and inside of jaw. Replace bushing over drive
pin and onto gripper. Align hole in jaw with boss on frame and cam with bushing.
Slide jaw over boss and drive pin so that jaw rests on gripper. Apply grease to
outside of jaw.
2. Refer to step F for installing a Side Plate or Indirect Sensor.
3. Flip gripper over for top jaw installation

E. Setting Jaw Open Angle
1. Look for bumper which should be on the upper jaw side. Remove M5X12mm SHCS
from side plate. If indirect sensor is in place of side plate remove M5X30mm from
indirect sensor. Rotate side plate/sensor up to about a 45° and remove from gripper.
Set SHCS and Side Plate/Sensor aside for re-assembly. Remove bumper from
gripper.
2. Insert bumper into new position, based on required open jaw angle. Bumpers should
only be on the top jaw side of gripper. Jaws do not need to be removed to change
bumper position. Insert bumper into frame and insure bumper is seated properly.

F. Installing a Side Plate or Indirect Sensor
1. With the Side Plate at 45°,align pins of side plate with slots of frame. Slide pins into
slot. When pins are fully seated, rotate side plate and slide down onto frame.

F. Installing a Side Plate or Indirect Sensor (cont.)
2. If an Indirect Sensor is to be installed, move brass bushing in sensor to align with
drive pin in gripper. This must be done to correctly install sensor. Align dowel pins with
slots of frame. Once pins are fully into slots, rotate sensor down onto frame. As rotation
begins make sure bushing and drive pin are still aligned.
Note: Whenever any part of the gripper is replaced including pads the sensor will need to
be recalibrated, see step J.
3. Clean and apply Loctite 262 or equivalent to M5 X 12mm SHCS for side plate or M5 X
30mm SHCS for sensor. Insert through side plate/sensor and into frame. Tighten M5
SHCS to 72in-lb.
G. Pad Replacement
1. Unlock jaws on gripper & open jaws to get access to pads. Side plates/sensor
DO NOT need to be removed. Refer to Gripper Unlock section B.
2. Remove M5X8mm SHCS from jaw.

3. Apply Loctite 262 to M5 X 8mm SHCS and insert into one of the jaws. Take
replacement pads and insert it into the opposite side of the jaw with SHCS sticking out.
Thread SHCS into pad and tighten to 72in-lb. Repeat step for other jaw. Chisel jaws
only require one pad
H. Calibrating In-Direct Sensor
Sensor must be calibrated whenever any part of the gripper is replaced including pads.
1. Part Present
a. To program the sensor for a particular material thickness, apply air to the gripper
and grip on the material thickness which is to be used for the particular job.
With an object such as a small Allen wrench, press the button until the Red LED
corresponding to the material range of the job lights as shown on the label.
b) Verify calibration:
(1) Close the gripper with no material between the pads. The LED should be o.
(2) Close the gripper on a single blank of material. The Red LED corresponding to your
material range should be on.
2. Double Blank
a) To program the sensor for a particular material thickness, apply air to the gripper
and grip on the material thickness which is to be used for the particular job. With
an object such as a small Allen wrench, press the button until the Red LED(s)
corresponding to the material range of the job lights as shown on the label.

I. Installing an In-Pad Sensor
1. If an In-Pad Sensor is to be installed, it goes on top of the side plate assembly.
Wrap sensor cable through holder and align holes on side plate. Clean and apply
Red Loctite 262 or equivalent to 2X M5 X 10mm SHCS and thread thru sensor into
side plate. Tighten both SHCS to 36in-lb.
2. Shim is only used for part numbers listed. If a shim is to be used on an angle pad,
smaller tabs go on the narrow side of the pads.
