2 Basic safety notes
2.1 Intended use
The product is used solely for gripping, holding and releasing
dimensionally stable workpieces with low elasticity within load
limits. For permissible load values, see the catalog datasheet.
• The product may only be used within the scope of its technical
• The product is intended for installation in a machine/system.
The applicable guidelines must be observed and complied with.
• The product is intended for industrial use.
• Appropriate use of the product includes compliance with all
instructions in this manual.
2.2 Not intended use
Any utilization that exceeds or differs from the appropriate use is
regarded as misuse. This includes in particular:
• Use outside of load limits
• Use by unauthorized personnel
• Use in unintended environments
• Use with gripping parameters (e. g. gripping force) that have not
been adapted to the sensitivity of the workpiece to be gripped
• Use with incorrectly configured workpieces
• Gripping of workpieces that are not approved
• Gripping and holding of living creatures
• Gripping and holding of food items
• Use as a clamping device for workpieces and lathe chucks
• Use as a guide for tools
• Use as machining tool e. g pressing, punching or cutting tool
• Operation without disconnecting protective equipment e. g
human/robot collaboration (HRC)
• Applications with strong interfering fields e. g. welding
operations, gripping and holding of magnetic clamping plates,
inductive hardening, radar or plasma applications
• Applications with splash water and dust load
