2.13 Fundamental dangers
General
• Observe safety distances.
• Never deactivate safety devices.
• Before commissioning the product, take appropriate protective
measures to secure the danger zone.
• Disconnect power sources before installation, modification,
maintenance, or calibration. Ensure that no residual energy
remains in the system.
• If the energy supply is connected, do not move any parts by
hand.
• Do not reach into the open mechanism or movement area of
the product during operation.
2.13.1 Protection during handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly may impair the product's safety
and cause serious injuries and considerable material damage.
• Have all work carried out by appropriately qualified personnel.
• For all work, secure the product against accidental operation.
• Observe the relevant accident prevention rules.
• Use suitable assembly and transport equipment and take
precautions to prevent jamming and crushing.

Basic safety notes
Incorrect lifting of loads
Falling loads may cause serious injuries and even death.
• Stand clear of suspended loads and do not step into their
swiveling range.
• Never move loads without supervision.
• Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
2.13.2 Protection during commissioning and operation
Falling or violently ejected components
Falling and violently ejected components can cause serious injuries
and even death.
• Take appropriate protective measures to secure the danger
zone.
• Never step into the danger zone during operation.
2.13.3 Protection against dangerous movements
Unexpected movements
Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while
working with the product.
• Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy
remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation.
• Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to
avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it
must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its
action being dependent on the control unit and the current
operating condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work,
modifications, and attachments outside the danger zone
defined by the movement range.
• To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to
the movement range of the machine must be restricted. Limit/
prevent accidental access for people in this area due through
technical safety measures. The protective cover and protective
fence must be rigid enough to withstand the maximum possible
movement energy. EMERGENCY STOP switches must be easily
and quickly accessible. Before starting up the machine or
automated system, check that the EMERGENCY STOP system is
working. Prevent operation of the machine if this protective
equipment does not function correctly.

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.
•Before starting any work on the product: Switch off the power
supply and secure against restarting.
•Make sure, that no residual energy remains in the system.
NOTICE
Damage to the gripper is possible!
If the maximum permissible finger weight or the permissible
mass moment of inertia of the fingers is exceeded, the gripper
can be damaged.
•A jaw movement always has to be without jerks and bounce.
•You must therefore implement sufficient reduction and/or
damping.
•Observe the information in the catalog data sheet.
1. Check the evenness of the mounting surface, }5.2.1 [/16].
2. Connect compressed air supply line to the main air
connection, }5.2.2 [/17].
✓Remove the locking screw and fasten the air connection
(plug-in connection).
✓If necessary, mount the throttle valve to throttle and/or
damp the product sufficiently.
3. Screw the product to the machine/system, }5.2.1 [/16].
✓If necessary, use appropriate connection elements (adapter
plates).
✓Observe the maximal tightening torque, admissible screw-in
depth and, if necessary, strength class.
4. Connect the sensor, see assembly and operating manual of the
sensor.
5. Mount the sensor, }5.3 [/18].

NOTE
• Observe the requirements for the compressed air
supply, }3 [/13].
• In case of compressed air loss (cutting off the energy line), the
components lose their dynamic effects and do not remain in a
secure position. However, the use of a SDV-P pressure
maintenance valve is recommended in this case in order to
maintain the dynamic effect for some time. Product variants
are also offered with mechanical gripping force via springs,
which also ensure a minimum clamping force in the event of a
pressure drop.
