2. Safety instructions 2.1. Disclaimer Piab AB is not responsible for installation and operation of CPT in a robot system. The required steps must be undertaken in supervision and approval by authorized integrators. Piab AB is not responsible for safety of a complete robot system with CPT installed. The required steps must be undertaken in supervision and approval by authorized integrators.
The integrator must perform a risk assessment on the complete robot application. The CPT is only a component in a robot application thus the safe use of the CPT relies on the integrator’s ability to design a safe robot application. The CPT is designed with features especially suitable for collaborative applications, such as: •...
• The product shall be installed in accordance with installation instructions. • The product shall be maintained in accordance with maintenance instructions. • The CPT is an end-of-arm tooling on collaborative robots, used for gripping and holding objects. Typical applications are: •...

CPT off-centre distance (50 mm or 100 mm). 3.5. Storage and transportation Store the CPT in the original packaging, as delivered, at room temperature. The humidity should be 30–70%. Always keep the packaging dry! When transporting the CPT, preferably keep it in the original packaging.
• Do not use CPT with compressed air pressure and/or electrical voltage outside specifica- tion. • The CPT has a Normally Closed (NC) vacuum valve. In case of loss of electrical power and/or compressed air feed, the CPT will stop generating vacuum.
Install the guiding pin (Mounting kit CPT robot interface) on the robot interface. There are two possible positions for the pin, deciding CPT the off-centre distance of 100 mm or 50 mm. Note that the screw head on the robot interface is a grounding point.
Page 15
On the CPT, connect the compressed air tube (A) and the electrical cable (B). Observe the guide notch on the electrical connection of CPT.
Pull the compressed air tube and electrical cable through one hole each on the robot interface. Attach the CPT pump unit to the robot interface with four M5x60mm screws and fender washer M5 (Mounting kit CPT robot interface). Recommended torque is 1.25 Nm [0.92 lb ft].

If using UR robot with a power cable other than the one provided by Piab on delivery of CPT: you must change to PNP on your tool 1 slot on the UR robot. See Instructions in “Changing the Tool digital output in UR PolyScope“.
Installation 4.4. Pneumatic installation Warning Ensure that the compressed air line is properly secured to avoid personal injury, equipment damage, and/or application failure. Attach the compressed air hose on the robot joints using the included set of straps. Ensure that the exhaust from the ejector is not blocked. When connecting compressed air to the unit, it is important to choose proper hose dimensions, if using other hose than included, to prevent pressure drop.

Operation Select the Tool I/O under the General tab. In the Digital Output Mode section, set the Tool Output Voltage to 24 V. Set the Standard Output property Digital Output 1 to Sourcing (PNP). Page 23 of 64...
5.3. Payload and off-centre distance The CPT enables the user to change the off-centre distance of the robot interface. The possibilities are 50 mm offset distance, to pick up heavier loads, or 100 mm offset distance, to have a greater reach.

Functions 6. Functions 6.1. Vacuum control Vacuum control is controlled either through Standard-IO input (PNP or NPN, configurable) or IO-link process data out (active high or active low). For a normally closed pump, vacuum is activated by an "active" input signal.
Functions 6.2. Parametrization 6.2.1. Part Present (PP) Part Present (PP) is used as an indicator that the part was successfully picked. PP is set to value low when vacuum level drops below the value set for Part Present hysteresis. 6.2.2. Energy Saving (ES) Energy Saving (ES) functions reduce energy consumption and noise levels whenever the application and conditions allow for it.
Functions 6.2.6. Automatic ES Condition Monitoring (ACM) Automatic Condition Monitoring (ACM) has the function of monitoring the Energy Saving function. If a sub- stantial leakage occurs, it will trigger a valve protective function (Leakage Warning, LW) to avoid high speed repetitive activation of the valves.
The Blow-Off duration is set with a timer. ATBO will save on I/Os needed to control CPT, this can be of great importance if several units are connected to one controller. ATBO makes programming easier and can be used to fine-tune Blow-Off duration to reduce cycles time.
Functions 6.3. Configuration 6.3.1. Factory reset Factory reset returns the product to the values set for parameterization and configuration parameters based on the product code. 6.3.2. Sensor calibration Zero-point calibration of sensor procedure (pressure range 1 atm ± 10 kPa): Make sure the pump is in an IDLE state. Navigate on the display menu to Sensor calibration, located under Configuration.

Functions Parameter Description NPN function of Vacuum control input pin (and all other input pins unless specifically configured otherwise). PNP function of Vacuum control input pin (and all other input pins unless specifically configured otherwise). 6.3.11. Blow-Off control type Parameter Description Same as base input Sets the input type to operate PNP when base input type is PNP.
Functions During a self-check the gripper arrangement shall avoid contact with the handled object (robot/automation cell shall not be in pick or drop-off position). Vacuum system self-check is a sequence where: 1.Vacuum is activated for a 5 second duration IBO is activated. The system then calculates the Filter Performance Factor and stores the current free running vacuum level (and fresh free running vacuum level if it is the first time used since last reset.) Parameter associated with...
Functions 6.4.11. First Time To Hit (FTTH) First Time To Hit (FTTH) is the time from when “Vacuum On” is turned on until the vacuum level has reached 20 -kPa below the free-running vacuum level of the system. The value can be used as a reference as to how fast the system was running when initially commissioned.
• Maintenance must be performed with a fixed period short enough, to ensure a firm grip at all times. • An overall inspection of the CPT must be performed on a regular basis with a duration depending on the application characteristics.
Do NOT use an Allen key or similar to mount suction cups with sense valves. To change the suction cup plate, it is recommended to first dismount the CPT from the robot and lay it down on a table for better access.
Remove the old foam pad from the foam gripper plate, carefully remove any glue residue from the foam gripper plate. Make sure that the foam gripper plate is mounted to the base plate of the CPT main unit before installing a new foam pad on the foam gripper plate.
Pay attention to align the holes in the foam pad with the screws that mount the foam gripper plate to the base plate. Figure 13. Installation of new foam pad on the CPT gripper. ®...
