What to do if SCHUNK Industrial Equipment is not moving?
- D
  Derek PowellAug 14, 2025
  If your SCHUNK industrial equipment isn't moving, there are several potential causes: * The base jaws may be jammed in the housing due to an uneven mounting surface. Ensure the mounting surface is sufficiently even. * The pressure may have dropped below the minimum required. Check the air supply. * The compressed air lines might be switched. Verify the compressed air lines are correctly connected. * The proximity switch could be defective or incorrectly set. Readjust or replace the sensor. * Unused air connections may be open. Close any unused air connections. * The flow control valve may be closed. Open the flow control valve. * A component part may be defective. Replace the component or send it to SCHUNK for repair.

Why is SCHUNK MPG-plus 12 Industrial Equipment not executing the complete stroke?
- K
  Kimberly GarzaAug 18, 2025
  If your SCHUNK industrial equipment isn't completing its full stroke, consider these possible reasons: * Dirt deposits may have accumulated between the cover and piston. Clean and re-lubricate the affected area. * Dirt deposits might be present between the basic jaws and guidance. Disassemble and clean the product. * The pressure could be dropping below the minimum required. Check the air supply. * The mounting surface may not be sufficiently flat. Check the evenness of the mounting surface. * A component part may be defective. Replace the component or send it to SCHUNK for repair.

  Mary RogersAug 25, 2025
  If the SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module isn't moving, several factors could be at play. First, the base jaws might be jammed due to an uneven bolting surface; in this case, check the levelness of the bolting surface and try loosening the mounting screws. Ensure that the pressure does not drop below the minimum required level. Inspect the compressed air lines to ensure they are correctly connected. Also, make sure that unused air connections are closed and the flow control valve is open. A defective proximity switch could also be the culprit, so verify its functionality. Finally, if a component is broken due to overloading, replace the component or send the module to SCHUNK for repair, ensuring it's used within defined application parameters.

Why the SCHUNK MPG-plus 12 Industrial Equipment module does not travel through the entire stroke?
- R
  robert56Aug 28, 2025
  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module isn't traveling its full stroke, it could be due to a few reasons. Check for dirt between the cover and piston; if present, remove the cover, clean, and relubricate the module. Also, inspect for dirt between the base jaws and the guide, cleaning as necessary. Ensure that the pressure does not drop below the minimum required level. Verify the levelness of the mounting surface. Lastly, a broken component due to overloading could be the cause, in which case you should send the module to SCHUNK for repair or disassemble the module.

How to fix compressed air can escape from SCHUNK Industrial Equipment?
- S
  Shawna BurchAug 31, 2025
  If compressed air is escaping from your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module, the seals may be damaged. Check the seals and replace them if necessary, which may involve disassembling the module. Another potential cause is too much grease in the mechanical motion spaces; if this is the case, clean and relubricate the module. Also, verify that the pressure does not drop below the minimum required level.

  Jennifer WilliamsSep 3, 2025
  If the SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module isn't moving, begin by inspecting the bolting surface to ensure it's level. Next, try loosening the gripper's mounting screws and reactuating it. Also, verify the air supply and check the compressed air lines for any issues. Repair the proximity switch if needed, and ensure all unused air connections are closed. If problems persist, it might be necessary to replace the component or send the module to SCHUNK for repair, making sure it was used within defined application parameters. If necessary, check the application with the calculation program for gripping modules (SSG).

  Elizabeth JimenezSep 6, 2025
  If the SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module isn't traveling its full stroke, it could be due to several reasons. One possibility is dirt accumulation between the cover and piston, in which case you should remove the cover, clean the module, and relubricate it. Another cause may be dirt between the base jaws and guide, requiring disassembly and cleaning. Also, ensure that the pressure doesn't drop below the minimum. Check the air supply. Verify that the mounting surface is sufficiently even. Lastly, a broken component due to overloading could be the reason, in which case you should send the module to SCHUNK for repair or disassemble it.
