The electrical connection supplies the area gripper with power and communicates with the controller of the higher-
level machine using defined outputs or via IO-Link.
Provide a connection cable with an M8 6-pole socket (customer’s responsibility).
Attach the connection cable to the area gripper at the
electrical connection (1).
Maximum tightening torque = hand-tight.
Ensure that the electrical cable does not exceed the maximum length of 20 meters.

Special Model with the Separation Function
This section describes the special model of the gripper FXP/FXP-i with separation function.
The separation pulse is needed when two or more air-permeable sheets are picked up during suction. The briefly
applied compressed air pulse separates the second sheet from the first. The valve screw setting can vary according to
the properties of the workpieces.
When the product is delivered, the connection for separation (1) is closed with a plug.
The compressed air connection for separation should only be connected on the side with the marking (2) in the sliding
block strip. The markings are on either end of the section. The amount of compressed air can be set to the customer’s
requirements using the valve screw.
The separation function can only be connected if there is a marking hole at the end of the section! If you
wish to retrofit this function, please contact Schmalz to obtain the conversion measures.
