Overview This chapter describes the safety information specific to the IRB 14000 gripper only. It does not contain complete safety information for the IRB 14000 robot system. The following additional documents are essential for correct and safe usage of the IRB 14000 robot system, including the gripper: •...
Make sure that all bolts have been tightened before starting any operation after maintenance work. • Make sure that no foreign material is lying on the IRB 14000 gripper before starting an operation. • Damaged or broken equipment can result in a safety risk.
The IRB 14000 gripper is not designed to retain work pieces in case of power loss. Objects held by the servo and vacuum modules may be released, in the event of pneumatic or electric power loss to the gripper.
1.2.3 Risks associated with live electric parts Voltage related risks The IRB 14000 gripper is powered by 24 V DC from the robot tool flange. A risk for short-circuit and sparks exists. All installation and service works should be done with power disconnected from the gripper and the tool flange.
2.1 Introduction 2 Installation and commissioning 2.1 Introduction General This chapter contains information for installing the IRB 14000 gripper at the working site. More detailed technical data about the gripper can be found in the Product specification for the robot.
2.2 Unpacking 2.2.1 Pre-installation procedure Introduction This section describes the unpacking and installation of the IRB 14000 gripper for the first time. It also covers re-installation of the IRB 14000 gripper. Packing, gripper The IRB 14000 gripper is packed following the standards of sea transportation, land transportation and air transportation on delivery.
Requirements, robot tool flange Make sure the area around the robot wrist has no particles that would obstruct the installation of the IRB 14000 gripper or be dangerous to the operator. Storage conditions, gripper The table shows the allowed storage conditions for the gripper:...
Design requirements for customized fingers Except for the two getting-started fingers delivered together with the IRB 14000 gripper, it is also possible for users to customize fingers based on actual requirements. The getting-started fingers can grip only up to 10,000 times under the maximum gripper force 20 N;...
2.4 On-site installation 2.4.1 Air and power supply Requirements The IRB 14000 gripper is supplied with air and 24 V DC power from the IRB 14000 tool flange. Before installing the gripper, ensure that air and electric power supply to the tool flange is shut off.
