02.00 | SGW | Assembly and Operating Manual | en | 389405
2.13.1 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.
2.13.2 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.

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 re-
mains 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 en-
ergy. EMERGENCY STOP switches must be easily and quickly access-
ible. 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 cor-
rectly.
2.13.4 Protection against electric shock
Possible electrostatic energy
Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically
charged. When the electrostatic charge is touched, the discharge
may trigger a shock reaction leading to injuries.
• The operator must ensure that all components and assembly
groups are included in the local potential equalisation in
accordance with the applicable regulations.
• While paying attention to the actual conditions of the working
environment, the potential equalisation must be implemented
by a specialist electrician according to the applicable
regulations.
• The effectiveness of the potential equalisation must be verified
by executing regular safety measurements.

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 diagrams and information in the catalog data
sheet.

NOTE
• Observe the requirements for the compressed air supply,
Technical Data [}16].
• In case of compressed air loss (cutting off the energy line), the
components lose their dynamic effects and do not remain in a se-
cure position. However, the use of a SDV-P pressure maintenance
valve is recommended in this case in order to maintain the dy-
namic effect for some time. Product variants are also offered with
mechanical gripping force via springs, which also ensure a min-
imum clamping force in the event of a pressure drop.

blue
load closer
Types that can be ordered (☞ catalog):
The inductive proximity switches used are equipped with reverse
polarity protection and are short-circuit-proof.
Make sure that you handle the proximity switches properly:
• Do not pull on the cable.
• Do not allow the sensor to dangle from the cable.
• Do not overtighten the mounting screw or mounting clip.
• Please adhere to a permitted bend radius of the cable (☞
catalog).
• Avoid contact of the proximity switches with hard objects and
with chemicals, in particular nitric acid, chromic acid and
sulphuric acid.
The inductive proximity switches are electronic components,
which can react sensitively to high-frequency interference or
electromagnetic fields.
• Check to make sure that the cable is fastened and installed
correctly. Provide for sufficient clearance to sources of high-
frequency interference and their supply cables.
• Parallel switching of several sensor outputs of the same type
(npn, pnp) is permissible, but does not increase the permissible
load current.
• Note that the leakage current of the individual sensors (approx.
2 mA) is cumulative.
