ABSTRACT

A chuck unit includes a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber
disposed on both sides of a piston for driving fingers. A valve unit includes
a first output air flow path connected to one of the first and second pressure
chambers, a second output air flow path connected to the other thereof, a
first solenoid valve connected to the first output air flow path, and a second
solenoid valve connected to the second output air flow path. The first
solenoid valve connects the first output air flow path to an air supply source
when energized and opens the first output air flow path to atmosphere when
de-energized, and the second solenoid valve opens the second output air flow
path to atmosphere when energized and connects the second output air flow path
to the air supply source when de-energized.
