6.6 Notes on Transferring Work Parts
When the gripper is used to transfer work parts, allowing a strong force or impact to apply to the fingers,
beside the gripping force, may cause the fingers to displace, become loose or sustain damage. To prevent
these unwanted consequences, pay due attention to the following points:
x Provide a horizontal play (compliance) with respect to the gripped work part.
(Do not allow one finger to receive concentrated load when a work part is gripped.)
x Do not cause the gripper to press-fit a gripped work part into a hole or pull out a press-fit work part.
x When the gripper is used to move or reverse work parts, do not cause the gripper to press the work
part against a jig, etc., at the moving end.
x When the gripper is used to insert work parts into holes, provide a sufficient clearance by considering
the expected position offset. (Prevent interference when the work part is inserted.)
x Do not turn the opening/closing screw counterclockwise while the work part is gripped, since this may
damage the work part or the lever.
