  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment is not moving, there are several potential causes: * The base jaws may be jammed in the housing due to an uneven mounting surface. Check the evenness of the mounting surface. * The pressure may have dropped below the minimum required level. Check the air supply. * The compressed air lines may be switched. Check the compressed air lines. * The proximity switch may be defective or set incorrectly. Readjust or change 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.

  Jasmine WrightAug 26, 2025
  Abrupt movements in your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment may be due to: * Insufficient grease in the mechanical guiding areas. Clean and lubricate the product. * Blocked compressed air lines. Check the compressed air lines for damage. * An uneven mounting surface. Check the evenness of the mounting surface. * A missing or incorrectly adjusted one-way flow control valve. Install and adjust the one-way flow control valve. * An excessive load. Check the permissible weight and length of the gripper fingers.

How to troubleshoot a SCHUNK PLZ Plus Industrial Equipment gripper that does not move?
- S
  Sean HillAug 30, 2025
  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment gripper isn't moving, start by checking the air supply. Specifically, ensure that the pressure hasn't dropped below the minimum level, the air lines are correctly connected, the proximity switches are functioning and properly set, any unnecessary air connections are sealed, there's sufficient evenness of the attachment face, and the cylinder piston isn't fractured due to overload.

  Elizabeth HobbsSep 2, 2025
  To address a SCHUNK Industrial Equipment gripper that isn't completing its stroke, ensure that the gripper is clean, removing any dirt from between the cover plate and the chuck piston, and between the base jaw and the guide. Also, verify that the pressure hasn't dropped below the minimum level and that the cylinder piston magnet is properly in place. Finally, ensure there's sufficient evenness of the attachment face.

What to do if SCHUNK PLZ Plus module does not move?
- A
  Ashley AlvaradoSep 12, 2025
  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module isn't moving, there are several potential solutions: * Ensure the bolting surface is level. * Loosen the gripper's mounting screws and reactuate the gripper. * Check the air supply and compressed air lines. * Repair the proximity switch. * Close any unused air connections. * Open the choke valve. If these steps don't resolve the issue, and the module was used within specified parameters, consider replacing the component or sending it to SCHUNK for repair. You may also want to check the application using the calculation program for gripping modules (SSG).

Why SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module does not travel through the entire stroke?
- O
  Omar MeyerSep 12, 2025
  If your SCHUNK Industrial Equipment module isn't traveling through its entire stroke, it could be due to a few reasons: * Dirt deposits between the cover and the piston: Remove the cover, clean the module, and relubricate it. * Dirt deposits between the base jaws and the guide: Disassemble and clean the module. * Pressure dropping below minimum: Check the air supply to ensure adequate pressure.
