NOTE 1 – Applies to measurements taken using the same grip force for each part.
NOTE 2 – Applies to measurements taken using the same grip force for each part and also using the same grip force to establish the reference offset.
NOTE 3 – Fingers can be re-positioned by loosening two screws and using mounting pin locations. Custom fingers can be installed for wider adjustment range.
NOTE 4 – Gripping force is bi-directional; parts may be gripped on their inside or outside surfaces using appropriate fingers.
NOTE 5 – Maximum may be higher depending on finger friction and force setting.
