    What to do if SCHUNK MPG-plus is not moving?
    • S
      Sheri RowlandJul 28, 2025
      If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment isn't moving, here's what you can check: * Verify the flatness of the mounting surface as base jaws may be jammed due to an uneven surface. * Ensure the air supply is adequate, as pressure may have dropped below the minimum required. * Examine the compressed air lines to ensure they are correctly connected. * Check the proximity switch, readjusting or replacing it if it's defective. * Close any unused air connections. * Open the flow control valve. * If none of these steps work, a component part may be defective, in which case you should replace it or send the equipment to SCHUNK for repair.

      If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment isn't completing its full stroke, consider the following: 1. Check for dirt deposits between the cover and piston; clean and re-lubricate if necessary. 2. Inspect for dirt between the basic jaws and guidance; disassemble and clean the product if needed. 3. Ensure adequate air supply, as pressure drops below the minimum can cause this issue. 4. Verify the flatness of the mounting surface. 5. A defective component part may be the cause, requiring replacement or repair by SCHUNK.

    What to do if the SCHUNK MPG-plus Industrial Equipment module does not move?
    • C
      Cynthia WatsonAug 12, 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 module does not travel through the entire stroke?
    • S
      Susan MayAug 17, 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 MPG-plus?
    • J
      Jerry GarciaAug 22, 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.
