Advantage™ Pneumatic Grips Safety Information 27
Hazard Placard Placement
Hazard placards contain specific safety information and are affixed directly to the
system so they are plainly visible. Each placard describes a system-related
hazard. When possible, international symbols (icons) are used to graphically
indicate the type of hazard and the placard label indicates its severity. In some
instances, the placard can contain text that describes the hazard, the potential
result if the hazard is ignored, and general instructions about how to avoid the
hazard.
The following label is typically located on the grips.
Power Loss Consideration
If power to the MTS air controller fails, grip pressure will be lost. Typically,
specimens gripped by pneumatic grips are relatively small and light weight.
Consequently, any chance of specimen or equipment damage is slight. As an
added precaution, a controller force detector could be set to detect load drop-off
and generate an interlock to stop program command.
Hand crush hazard from the sides. Use
caution when working near the grips
when pneumatic pressure to the grips is
enabled.
Model identification label. Includes
product name, part number, force
capacity, temperature range, and air
pressure requirements.
