Operation time adjustment method for holding / releasing the workpiece The piston operation time during workpiece holding / release can be adjusted by adjusting the opening of the metering speed controller valve. Metering valve For adjusting the time to move to the workpiece holding position.
5-3. U R C a p Installation and basic setting 1. Installation of URCap (1) Tap the "URCap" menu from the robot settings screen. (2) Insert the USB memory with a cop of the downloaded file into the teaching pad and tap the "+" button.

2. Select "SMC Magnet Gripper Unit" on the "URCaps" menu for basic settings. ① ② ① “Time to wait for the operation of the gripper to complete” If the NODE is "RELEASE ONLY NODE" or "HOLD ONLY NODE" (see P.21 for NODE), the delay time between outputting the valve switching signal and the transition of the robot to the next operation can be set.

When the box is checked: When workpiece holding or release fails (auto switch detection does not work), the above message pops up and the program stops. In this case, failure signal is output and it can be assigned to the Hold/Release failure signal in ③”Various status signal output to digital output port”.
Page 24
Program setting Operation program can be set from the “Program” tab. ①:“Select operation” 4 type of operation NODEs are available. 1: “OPEN ONLY NODE” opens the finger. This does not monitor the auto switch signal. 2: Fingers are open when “OPEN AND CHECK SIGNAL NODE” is executed. In this case, after checking the auto switch signal and confirming the reaction, the transition of the operation occurs.

Manual operation From the UR+ icon in the upper right corner of the screen, the manual operation of the gripper can be checked. The gripper operation (open or close) and the auto switch reaction can be checked by tapping the Open/ Close button. - 24 -...
5-4. Air supply ! Warning 1. Please contact SMC when using the product in applications other than with compressed air. 2. Compressed air containing a large amount of condensate can cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment. An air dryer or water separator should be installed upstream from filters. 3.
5-7. Lubrication ! Caution 1. The non-lube type air gripper is lubricated at the factory and can be used without any further lubrication. If a lubricant is used in the system, use turbine oil Class 1 (with no additive) ISO VG32. Furthermore, once lubrication is applied, it must be continued.
