3.2.2. DIP switch (for changing the gripper operation mode)
To change the gripper operation mode, use the 2-pole DIP switch on the top of the product. Change the
operation mode before mounting the electric vacuum gripper on the robot, while the power is off.
How to change
1. Remove the switch cover above the Lamp cover and switch ON or OFF the DIP switch as shown in the
table below.
2. Return the switch cover and connect the electric vacuum gripper to the robot. (Refer to “4.1. Mounting”.)
Table 2. Gripper operation modes
* In “Automatic mode and auto-diagnostic” mode, the vacuum pressure without workpiece is
automatically diagnosed when the gripper is turned on. (For details on operation, see “5.1. Initial setup
and diagnostic function”).

When URCap plugin software is used, the operation mode can be changed with the software. In this case,
the operating mode set by the software is effective, overriding the mode set by the DIP switch. However, if
you use “Automatic mode and auto-diagnostic” mode, the DIP switch must be changed.

3.2.3. Gripper operation modes
3.2.3.1. Automatic mode
In automatic mode, the electric vacuum gripper operates in an energy-saving manner, automatically setting
a threshold value based on the vacuum pressure at gripping, the maximum vacuum pressure of the product,
and the pre-determined vacuum pressure without workpiece (*).
Below is the description of the energy-saving operation.
Upon the grip command, the pump engages and starts suctioning. According to the vacuum pressure after
suction has started, the gripper performs one of the following five actions:
1. When the vacuum pressure reaches P1, the pump stops. After that, when the vacuum pressure drops
by H1, the pump starts again and maintains the vacuum. If the vacuum pressure reaches P1 again, the
pump stops, and thereafter it repeats the on and off cycle.
If the on and off cycle is repeated a predetermined number of times, the pump will operate continuously.
2. When the vacuum pressure reaches P1, the pump stops. When the vacuum pressure drops by H1, the
pump starts again. However, if the vacuum pressure does not reach P1, the pump runs continuously.
3. If the vacuum pressure does not increase sufficiently after the start of suction, the pump does not stop
and runs continuously.
4. If the vacuum pressure does not reach P2, it indicates that gripping has failed, and the pump stops.
5. If the vacuum pressure drops to P2+H2 during suction, it indicates that a dropped workpiece event has
been detected, and the pump stops.
*Vacuum pressure without workpiece means the pressure when the grip command is given without
workpiece.

3.2.3.2. Manual mode
In manual mode, threshold values are manually set, and the vacuum gripper operates in an energy-saving
manner (which controls the pump’s actions) similarly to automatic mode. The following four threshold
values can be set as described in “5.2.2.3. Pump settings” or with the buttons on the pressure monitor as
described in “5.3.4. Viewing and setting thresholds”. Refer to “6.2. List of setting items” for default values
and adjustable ranges.
P1: Threshold of pressure for energy-saving operation
H1: Energy-saving operation range
P2: Pressure for gripping success detection
H2: Hysteresis of pressure for gripping success detection
(P2+H2: Pressure for workpiece drop detection)
Caution
3.2.3.3. Continuous mode
In continuous mode, the pump operates continuously while the grip command is valid. The pressure for
gripping success detection P2 and the hysteresis of pressure for gripping success detection H2 are
automatically determined based on the gripper maximum vacuum pressure and the pre-determined
vacuum pressure without workpiece.
H2
Time
Vacuum pressure
P2
Atmospheric pressure
In manual mode, each threshold value can be set arbitrarily within adjustable range, but depending on the
set value, malfunctions may occur.
For example, if the vacuum pressure without workpiece Pe at initial setup is higher than the manually set
the pressure for workpiece drop detection P2+H2, the workpiece drop detection cannot be judged correctly.
In that case, set the value appropriately or use automatic mode or continuous mode.

Gripper’s vacuum status indicator: (OUT1/OUT2): Turns on or off according to the threshold values of each
parameter. But it is not relevant to the product’s specification.

4. Mounting
4.1. Mounting
■Mounting the gripper on the robot
1) Insert the parallel pin into the robot tool flange pin hole.
2) Aligning the parallel pin with the oval hole of the main plate, mount the main plate on the robot with 4
hexagon thin socket head bolts provided, with a tightening torque of 5.2±0.5 N·m.
3) Aligning the grooves of the main plate and the lamp cover, insert the clamper into the grooves and
mount the gripper by tightening the hexagon thin socket head bolts (M5 X 25) with a tightening torque
of 1.5±0.1 N·m.
4) With the gasket seal in place on the adapter, mount 4 cups with adapter on the electric vacuum
gripper with a tightening torque of 1 N·m or tighten by 1/4 turn using a spanner after tightening by
hand.
To remove the gripper, follow the mounting procedure in reverse.

Caution
<Example of mounting>
Mount the electric vacuum gripper on the robot in an orientation that minimizes slack in the M8 connector
cable. If the cable slack is large, the cable may cause an unexpected accident by pulling on the surrounding
equipment, workpieces, or people while the robot is in operation.

4.2. Wiring
■Mounting the M8 connector cable
Connect the electric vacuum gripper’s M8 connector pin and the tool flange’s tool I/O connector together
with the M8 connector cable.
Do not energize while securing the connector.
Check that the connector is not loose.

4.3. Power on
When supply voltage is applied to the M8 connector cable, the pressure monitor is turned on and performs
zero-clear (*). The LED flashes green, indicating that the electric vacuum gripper is idling.
Caution
*Zero-clear: Function to adjust the displayed pressure to zero.
Power on the electric vacuum gripper with the vacuum port released to atmosphere. This product clears
the display value to zero upon power on. If it is powered on with pressure applied (performs zero-clear),
the displayed pressure value may deviate. If this happens, power it on again after powering off and
removing the pressure from the vacuum port to release to atmosphere.
