D. Jaw Replacement
1. For lower jaws (10151, 11102 and 11103): Apply high-temperature 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 high
temperature grease to outside of jaw.

2. Add Schnorr washer to M5 X 12mm SHCS. Insert through side plate and into frame. Tighten M5 SHCS to 72in-lb.
F. Installing an Indirect Sensor
1. To install an Indirect Sensor, apply a liberal amount of high temperature grease to brass bushing prongs inside
sensor. Next, move the brass bushing in the sensor to align with drive rod slot in gripper. This must be done to
correctly install sensor. Make sure the sensor is in the orientation where the cable is pointing to the rear of the gripper.

prongs
Drive rod slot
2. Apply Loctite 262 or equivalent to the three blind M4 tapped holes.

3. Apply Loctite Silver Grade Anti-Seize to M5 X 10mm SHCS. Make sure 5mm schnorr washer is used along with M5
X 10mm SHCS before inserting into one of the jaws. Take replacement pad 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.

Clean all three M4 X 30mm SHCS for sensor and insert through gripper body and into sensor. Tighten M4 SHCS
to 50in-lb.
G. Pad Replacement
1. Unlock jaws on gripper & open jaws to get access to pads. Side plates DO NOT need to be removed. Refer to
Gripper Unlock section B.
2. Remove M5X10 mm SHCS along with the 5 mm schnorr washer from jaw.

H. Calibrating Indirect 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.
b) Verify calibration:
