Re: Pneumatic Gripper ruling
If pneumatic tubing connects to the gripper, and the gripper utilizes the pressurized air delivered by the tubing to perform any function, then by definition it is a pneumatic device. Knowing this, then refer to the "Parts Use Flowchart":

- Is the part a safety hazard...? (I am going to assume "no") "No," so go to:

- Is the part a bumper...? "No," so go to:

- Was it included in the Kit of Parts? "No," so go to:

- Is the part a pneumatic component? "Yes," so go to:

- Is it an Air Cylinder ordered from the Custom Cylinder Order Form? "No," so go to:

- Is it a purchased fitting or valve rated for 125psi or a purchased cylinder or rotary actuator identical to those available on the Custom Cylinder Order Form? "No," so go to:

- Is it a previous year's pneumatic component (but only the cylinders and solenoid valves)? "No," so go to:

- NO IT MAY NOT BE USED.
