75mm (3”), 125mm (5”), or 150mm (6”) paper autonomously through the application of pneumatic actuators, sensors, and removal blade within the RPC100. When purchasing, the disc size must be specified: RPC100-75 for 75mm (3”) discs, RPC100-125 for 125mm (5”) discs and RPC100-150 for 150mm (6”) discs. -

Step 5: Connect female “A-code” M12 8pin cable to the RPC100 unit and hardwire the connections per figure 10 in Section 6 Please read the following sections to learn the full potential and features of the PushCorp RPC100 Pad Changer Device. -
Page 8: Installation
4.1 Mounting Process Equipment While not necessary, it is recommended that the RPC100 is securely mounted atop the RPC100 Pedestal with a PushCorp designed mounting bracket. The bracket is mounted to the RPC100 Adapter Plate with four M8 cap head fasteners; the RPC100 is then mounted to the bracket with four M8 cap heads. - Page 9 RPC100-75/125/150 Manual ORP, The bolt pattern on the adapter plate is designed for M8 fasteners with all tapped through holes. The outline shown in Figure 2 shares its perimeter with the RPC100 and RPC100 Base plate. This is critical because it allows the discarded paper to fall through without interfering with the operation of the pad changing device.

Page 10: Pneumatic Connection
RPC100-75/125/150 Manual ORP, 4.2 Pneumatic Connection The RPC100 requires a dry, non-lubricated, 5µm filtered, 43.5 to 72.5 psi (3 – 5 bar) air supply. Failure to provide supply air to these specifications can degrade performance and will void any warranty repairs concerning pneumatic components. - Page 11 43.5 PSI (3 bar). NOTE: PushCorp highly recommends the use of flexible polyurethane tubing as opposed to nylon tubing. This is because nylon tubing tends to crimp shut when it is bent.

Page 12: Operation
RPC100-75/125/150 Manual ORP, 5.0 Operation After ensuring proper electrical and pneumatic connections, secure mounting, and a magazine full of abrasive discs, the RPC100 is ready to operate. The amount of discs in the magazine varies based on the grit of the paper, but can be determined by placing discs into the unit while the cylinder is not pressurized. - Page 13 RPC100-75/125/150 Manual ORP, Figure 7: RPC100 Pad Retrieval - Retracted Figure 8: RPC100 Pad Retrieval - Extended...
- Page 14 RPC100-75/125/150 Manual ORP, To actuate the air cylinder that raises the magazine, a 24V signal is sent to the pneumatic sensor via pin 6 of the electrical connector. This will raise the magazine to allow for the disc to engage with the hook and loop pad.
- Page 15 RPC100-75/125/150 Manual ORP, The first robot point will be flat against the body of the paper changer and tangent with the blade’s edge. Figure 10: RPC100 Pad Removal Then, move the pad down towards the ground so the paper is halfway into the blade as shown in the Figure 8b.

- Page 17 RPC100-75/125/150 Manual ORP, Figure 13: RPC100 Pad Removal To ensure the paper has been applied or removed properly a probe sensor is used to validate the process. This is a spring loaded probe sensor, which is shown in Figure 14. The pad must have a counter bore at its center to allow for proper sensor detection.
- Page 18 RPC100-75/125/150 Manual ORP, For the validation process a single point is programmed on the robot. This is done without a disc on the backup pad. Program the point so that the touch probe is inside of the counter bore of the backup pad as described above. You will want to center this point with the rotation of the spindle shaft so that regardless of the eccentricity the probe will not be touched.
