Servo Gripper
To connect the servo gripper cable:
1. Line up the white dot marker on the gripper cable connector with the white dot
marker on the arm connector.
2. Push the cable connector onto the arm connector until it clicks. The outer
collar is spring loaded.
To disconnect the servo gripper:
1. Pull back the spring loaded outer collar.
2. Pull out the cable connector from the arm connector.
Note: Striking an e-stop does not remove power to the servo gripper. As a safety
feature, motor power to the gripper is maintained so the gripper does not
release its load.
For information on: specifications, testing, operating, maintenance,
troubleshooting, and repair, see the Servo Gripper User Guide.
