The following applications are approved for the product:

• Flange-mounting to a handling system between the flange plate and a tool, such as a gripper.
• Integration into a machine/system or attachment to a robot. The applicable directives must be
observed and adhered to.
• The SFE may be used for passive compensatory movements and transfers of position.
• The SFE may be unlocked for the duration of handling process with active contact of tools and a
workpiece or device and during the necessary advancing and moving away processes. For transfer
journeys or general movements at higher speeds, the SFE must be operated in a locked state.
During these process stages, the status query of the locking state must be capable of ensuring that
the state is not changed unexpectedly.
• The SFE may only be used within the framework of its technical data. These must be safeguarded
using further measures, if applicable.
