NOTICE!
The unit may only be operated if the machine in which the unit is installed complies with
the relevant provisions of the machinery directive 2006-42-EC.
NOTICE!
A semi-cylindrical bolt safety device must be used for dynamic applications.
Otherwise boundary conditions supplied by the customer, e.g. vibrations can lead to
automatic lock-out release.
Everyone who is responsible for assembly, commissioning and maintenance must read and
understand the complete operating instructions. Improper use, which affects the function und
operational safety of the SWS Connector, is prohibited.
In order to prevent damage to the connector as well as injuries to the operator, the
lower assembly or the tool must be secured by hand or other devices before opening
the change system. Otherwise there is a risk that irreparable damages to the tool or
injury to the operator are caused by the unit falling down.
This symbol indicates possible hazards to persons or the SWS
Connector.
The SWS Connector has been designed as an interface between special solutions and automation
(e.g. gripper). Furthermore, the SWS can also be used as an interface between handling device and
tool . In dynamic applications, it can only be used with the locking piston. The unit may only be used in
the context of its technical specifications. The system is intended for the installation in a machine. The
requirements of the applicable instructions must be considered and adhered to.
Use this unit only in dry and splash-proof environments at room temperature as well as within the
application parameters defined in the technical specifications. If this is not the case, warranty
cannot be accepted. Exceptions are units designed especially for the respective conditions.
To open the change system, insert the square socket key on the square of the semi-cylindrical bolt and turn
counter-clockwise (“to the left") by 180 ° to the stop. The upper and lower assembly can now be pulled apart.
When joining the parts, the hand lever must be set to open position. Now, upper and lower assembly can be
pushed into each other.
By turning the semi-cylindrical bolt clockwise (“to the right”) 180° up to the stop, the system is locked. Afterwards
the hand lever is folded and latched.
