6 Functional description
The gripper jaws of the GEP5000 series are arranged parallel to each other on two opposing guide rails and can be moved
relative to each other.
The gripper jaws of the GED5000 series are arranged on three guide rails offset to each other at a 120° angle.
The force of the motor is transmitted by a worm drive. A pinion and a rack generate the movement of the gripper jaws and
synchronize these movements.
Despite their small installation space, these products are suited for gripping a wide range of form-t and frictional t parts.
The products can be easily integrated into the existing control system.
The gripping force can be adapted optimally to the workpiece conditions via IO-Link.

10.3 Safe shutoff for products with IO-Link
INFORMATION
For safe shutoff for IO-Link products, two contactors are switched in series with one auxiliary contact each. Here,
the auxiliary contacts monitor the status of the contactors. If one contactor does not switch, the second contactor
ensures safety. The malfunction can still be detected using the contacts.
The following gure shows the example of a circuit through which the IO-Link master cannot conduct the load current of the

NOTICE
Without an externally fed voltage supply,the motor of the product cannot carry out an active movement and thus
cannot carry out a hazardous movement.
There is no galvanic separation between the two voltage supplies (signal and power). There is a low-voltage
connection via the ground (GND).
Because of the self-locking mechanism, the product remains in the last approached position, even if no voltage is
supplied.

10.4 Installing the energy supply
NOTICE
Destruction of the product
In the event that the polarity of the product is reversed, the IO-Link chip may be destroyed as a result of the
duration of current of the C/Q (pin 4) being too long.
►Connect the product according to its assignment diagram.
NOTICE
Non-compliance may result in material damage.
The cable mounted on the product can be subjected to a torsional angle of +50°.
►Do not route the cable so that it is strained.
►You must meet the minimum bending radius of 10x the outer diameter.
►Secure free-hanging cables to prevent excessive motion loads or pinching.
►The contacts of the energy supply must be dry, clean and undamaged at all times.
ÖDamage to the contacts can result in malfunction of the product.
►Connect the power supply cable to the
control system of the product.

10.5 Installing the power supply for GEP5000IO/GED5000IO
►Connect the product to the voltage supply.
►Ensure the proper voltage supply.
• A voltage supply between pin 6 and pin 8 is necessary for operation.
ÖA jaw movement is triggered by a voltage level to Pin 1.

10.7 Static charge
CAUTION
Non-compliance may result in material damage.
Grounding the product is recommended if ESD sensitive parts come into contact with the product.
Grounding is also recommended in applications that require high EMC shielding.
The movement of the gripper jaws creates low voltages as a result of static charging. These charges cannot be dissipated if
the product is mounted on an insulating surface and if discharge is also not possible through the workpiece.
10.8 Heat dissipation
In the event of high ambient temperatures, the product must be installed on heat-dissipating materials.
If the product is operated under very high ambient temperatures and with fast clock cycles on an ongoing basis, this might
reduce its service life.
INFORMATION
►The cycle time must therefore be reduced as the temperature increases.
10.9 Installing accessories
NOTICE
►Before installing an accessory, make sure it is suitable for use with the selected variant.
►You can nd information on our website.
►Please contact Customer Service if you have any questions.
