5-3. URCap 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.
Page 19
2. Select "SMC Air Gripper Unit" on the "URCaps" menu for basic settings. ① ② ③ ①:“Time to wait for the operation of the gripper to complete”: If the MODE is "OPEN ONLY MODE" or "CLOSE ONLY MODE" (see P.21 for MODE), the delay time between outputting the valve switching signal and the transition of the robot to the next operation can be set.
Page 20
②:“Tool weight without work piece”: The mass of the air gripper is entered. If there are tools to attach to the robot arm other than the transferred object, add the mass. The robot performs the optimum operation according to the entered mass.
Page 21
Program setting Operation program can be set from the “Program” tab. ①:“Select operation” 4 type of operation MODEs are available. 1: “OPEN ONLY MODE” opens the finger. This does not monitor the auto switch signal. 2: Fingers are open when “OPEN AND CHECK SIGNAL MODE” 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.
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.
