Mount the vacuum suction nozzle ( Chapter 8.1). 2. Connect the vacuum suction nozzle pneumatically ( Chapter 8.2). 3. Connect the vacuum suction nozzle electrically ( Chapter 8.3). The vacuum suction nozzle can be placed in operation. If you do not wish to use the factory settings, you can teach a switching point for the switching output ( Chapter 9.2). 7 Function and application The OVEM vacuum suction nozzle is intended for use to generate vacuum and is only intended for use inside buildings. The vacuum generated is used together with a suction gripper to create a force that can grip a workpiece so that it can be transported. The vacuum suction nozzle is available with a variety of pneumatic and electric switching functions. The taught setpoint value for the generated vacuum is monitored via an integrated vacuum sensor (-1P, -1N). If the setpoint value is reached or if it is not reached due to malfunctions (e.g. leakage, dropped workpiece), the vacuum sensor emits an electrical signal and the LED indicates whether or not the taught setpoint was reached. The supply of compressed air for vacuum generation is controlled by an integrated solenoid valve. The solenoid valve can be supplied with two different switching functions, NC and NO. The vacuum is generated as soon as compressed air is applied to the vacuum suction nozzle and the voltage is switched on (NC: -CE, -CN) or off (NO: -OE, -) as defined by the switching function of the solenoid valve 2. The integrated solenoid valve 1 can be used to control and generate an ejector pulse to release the workpiece safely from the suction cup and to purge the vacuum rapidly. 7.1 Switching output and switching inputs The vacuum is monitored with the aid of a piezoresistive sensor element. The vacuum sensor converts pneumatic pressure values and supplies electrical signals. When the taught switching point is reached, the vacuum sensor closes a circuit, supplying an electrical signal. This signal can be used for control functions. The vacuum suction nozzle can be connected to higher-level systems by means of a switching output (-1P, -1N) and switching inputs. The switching output is configured as normally open. The output s switching function is defined as a threshold value comparator. The input signals determine the actuation of the solenoid valves for control of the compressed air and the ejector pulse.

7.2 Switching point and hysteresis Threshold value comparator NO (normally open) H-rail mounting 1 Fig. 7 Settings for switching points SP, hysteresis Hy and function reserve FR The switching point is determined from the teach pressure and the functional reserve. A function reserve (35 % of the teach pressure) is deducted from the teach pressure (SP = TP 0.35*TP). For example, with a teach pressure of 0.5 bar, a switching point of 0.33 bar is set. The hysteresis has a fixed value. 8 Installation It can be mounted in any position. Mount the vacuum suction nozzle and connect its tubing in such a way that no condensation from the compressed air lines can gather in the device. Fig. 10 H-rail mounting 1. Mount the H-rail mounting on the back cover of the vacuum suction nozzle with 4 screws, size M3, with max. assembly torque 0.8 Nm. 2. Hook the vacuum suction nozzle onto the H-rail and press in the direction of the arrow. 3. Secure the vacuum suction nozzle to the H-rail with screw 1, fastening it with max. torque 1 Nm. Mounting bracket The noise level must be measured in the end product and taken into account. An unfavourable mounting position can result in increased sound pressure. During installation, make sure that the exhaust can flow without hindrance. 8.1 Mechanical Direct mounting Fig. 11 Mounting bracket Mount the vacuum suction nozzle at the intended position with two screws (size of the mounting screws Fig. 9), assembly torque max. 2.5 Nm.

8.3 Electric Warning Use only power sources which guarantee reliable electrical isolation of the operating voltage in accordance with IEC/EN 60204-1. Also observe the general requirements for PELV power circuits in accordance with IEC/EN 60204-1. Unintentional pressing of the Edit button (for longer than two seconds) may cause a modification of the preset switching pressure. Make sure that the Edit button is only pressed intentionally. Otherwise a switching pressure of 0 bar would be set if there was no operating pressure, for example. Long signal lines reduce the resistance to interference. Make sure that the signal lines are always shorter than 30 m. Make sure that the operating voltage supply is 24 V DC ±15 %. The solenoid coils and electrical components could be damaged if the maximum permitted switching voltage is exceeded. Connect the cable socket to the plug connector ae.

Avoid long tubing and large volumes between the suction grippers and the vacuum suction nozzle. A large volume leads to long evacuation times and possibly incorrect settings on the vacuum sensor. Take into account accelerations, external influences, etc. on the workpiece when setting the required holding force. To prevent damage to the EDIT button, actuate the EDIT button with a blunt object only. 9.1 Building up the vacuum: 1. Pressurize the vacuum suction nozzle with an operating pressure at the supply port 3. 2. Switch on the operating voltage. 3. Energise the switching input for vacuum /. The solenoid valve 2 (-CN, -CE) is opened (or closed in the case of -OE, -). The compressed air flows through the vacuum suction nozzle and generates a corresponding vacuum at the vacuum port 5. The vacuum can be set by changing the operating pressure. 9.2 Setting the vacuum sensor: The setting of the vacuum sensor for monitoring the vacuum depends on the application. The vacuum generator is preset at the factory (factory settings Chapter 6). These settings can be adapted to the application quickly by teaching a switching point. Teaching a switching point: 1. Switch on the operating voltage. 2. Set the desired teach pressure (e.g. object gripped). 3. Press and hold the EDIT button aa 2 sec. The LED Out ab flashes. 4. Release the EDIT button aa. The current teach point (TP) minus the function reserve is saved as the switching point (SP) and is applied for the switching output. 5. Carry out a test run, varying the pressure to check whether the vacuum suction nozzle s switching output switches as desired. 9.3 Setting the ejector pulse (-OE, -CE): The vacuum suction nozzle must be in its initial position. The workpiece must be held reliably against the suction gripper by the vacuum generated. The intensity of the ejector pulse can be adjusted. You can set the intensity of the ejector pulse by adjusting the flow control screw aj. 1. Screw the flow control screw aj clockwise completely in. The ejector pulse channel is now closed. No ejector pulse is generated. 2. Unscrew the flow control screw until the required intensity of the ejector pulse is reached. 3. Test the settings of the ejector pulse before commissioning. 9.4 Reducing the vacuum: OVEM-...-CN/- Cut off the compressed air supply by switching the input voltage off (in the case of -CN) or on (in the case of -). The vacuum port 5 is pressurized. The workpiece detaches itself from the suction gripper. OVEM-...-CE/-OE When the solenoid valve for ejector pulse 1 is switched on, an ejector pulse is generated. The vacuum port 5 is pressurized. The workpiece detaches itself from the suction gripper. When large suction cups are used, flow resistance in the suction cup as the cup lifts away from the workpiece can cause the build-up of a vacuum independent of the generating device. This might mean that the workpiece being set down does not detach from the suction cup, even when the ejector pulse is set to a long duration. Therefore, switch on the solenoid valve for ejector pulse 1 shortly before the suction cup is lifted away, to ensure that the ejector pulse is active as the suction cup lifts away.
10 Operation The last saved settings are retained in the event of a power failure. 10.1 Manual override 11 Service Switch off the following energy sources before cleaning the exterior of the device: operating voltage compressed air. If necessary, clean the outside of the vacuum suction nozzle. Permissible cleaning agents are soap suds (max. +60 C) and all non-abrasive agents. Check whether the air filter is contaminated. The filter can be inspected visually through the transparent filter cover. Cleaning the air filter: Fig. 15 Operating the manual override The manual override can be used to switch the solenoid valve manually when it is not being actuated or not supplied with power. The manual override is non-locking (automatic reset). Press down the plunger of the manual override with a blunt pin. The solenoid valve is brought into the switching status. Remove the pin. The plunger of the manual override and the solenoid valve move to their initial position. 10.2 Vacuum suction nozzle status display LED Status Significance Out Off Switching point not reached Lights up Switching point is reached Flashes Teach procedure is started Vacuum On/Off CE/CN Off Solenoid valve for vacuum / is not switched, no vacuum generated Lights up Solenoid valve for vacuum / is switched, vacuum is generated OE/ Off Solenoid valve for vacuum / is not switched, vacuum is generated Lights up Solenoid valve for vacuum / is switched, no vacuum is generated Eject Off Solenoid valve for ejector pulse is not switched, no ejector pulse generated Lights up Solenoid valve for ejector pulse is switched, an ejector pulse is generated Fig. 16 Vacuum suction nozzle status display 1 Fig. 17 Removing/installing the filter 1.
