Troubleshooting

Gripper not closing or opening

Check pneumatic supply pressure (ensure it's within 6-8 bar). Verify air line connections are secure and free from leaks. Confirm control signals are correctly activating the double-acting ports.

Inconsistent gripping force

Ensure operating pressure is stable and within the specified range. Check for debris or damage in the T-slot guide or jaw mechanism. If using sensors, verify their correct positioning and function.

Gripper jaws are loose

Inspect the T-slot guide and jaw mounting screws for tightness. Ensure the internal gripping mechanism is not damaged. Re-calibrate sensor positions if applicable.

Sensor not detected

Verify the sensor is correctly installed in the designated slot. Check sensor wiring and ensure it is compatible with the gripper's sensor interface. Test the sensor independently if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High gripping force relative to its size.
  • Robust construction with a precision T-slot guide for durability.
  • Compact design suitable for automated systems with limited space.
  • Enables precise position sensing with compatible proximity sensors.
  • Standardized design ensures reliable performance and integration.

Cons

  • Maximum operating pressure limited to 8 bar.
  • Requires a compatible pneumatic supply and control system.
  • Specific sensor integration might require additional accessories.
  • Weight of 380g may be a factor in highly weight-sensitive applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the gripper to a clean, dry, and lubricated compressed air supply with a maximum operating pressure of 8 bar. Ensure port connections are secure using M5 fittings. For position sensing, integrate compatible proximity sensors into the designated slots. Mount the gripper securely to your actuator unit using its versatile mounting options.

Compatibility: The DHPS-20-A is designed to integrate with standard pneumatic automation systems. It is compatible with proximity sensors for position monitoring. Ensure your control system can manage the double-acting pneumatic actuation.

Care: Regularly inspect the gripper for wear and tear. Keep the T-slot guide clean and free of debris. Ensure the air supply is filtered to prevent contamination of internal mechanisms. Avoid exceeding the maximum operating pressure of 8 bar. For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
