Haas Cobot 10 (HC10) - Gripper - Installation

AD0711

Introduction

Different types of grippers can be installed onto the Haas Cobot package. This procedure will show how to install the different pneumatic grippers supplied through Haas—dual and single grippers. 

This procedure applies to the following part numbers and service kits:

  • 09-0613: COBOT GRIPPER, PNEUMATIC DUAL
  • 09-0614:  COBOT GRIPPER, PNEUMATIC SINGLE
  • 93-1001207: HRP-1/HC10 DUAL GRIPPER KIT

 NOTE: The HRP-1/HC-10 Dual Gripper is backward compatible with any Cobot 10.

Gripper Installation

1

Turn off the machine air by turning the valve in the Air/Lube cabinet and pull the pressure relief valve to release the air in the system.

2

For the Dual Action Gripper:

There are two versions of the dual-action grippers for this section, both of which have the same installation process.

Jog the robot so that the location hole [1] is centered on top.

Install the adapter plate [2] onto the end of the robot arm.

Install the dual gripper assembly [3] onto the adapter plate [2].

NOTE: Make sure to install Gripper 1 (which has the orange and purple zip ties) onto the Gripper 1 adapter plate section. 

3

For the Angled Single Action Gripper:

Jog the robot so that the location hole [1] should be centered on top.

Install the angle adapter plate [2] to the end of the robot arm.

Install the single gripper assembly [3] onto the angle adapter plate [2]. 

4

To install the bar gripper fingers, remove the slug gripper plates from the gripper bodies.

Install the Bar Gripper Bolt Plates [3] with (x8) SHCS M6 screws [4]. Torque to 10 ft-lbs.

Install the Bar Gripper Fingers [2] with (x8) SHCS 1/4-20 [1]. Torque to 13 ft-lbs.

5

Configure the dual air solenoid assembly used for pneumatic grippers depending on single [1] or dual [2] gripper configuration. 

For single grippers [1], connect the incoming air to the to the fitting [2] and keep the plug in the other end of the fitting [3] as shown in the image.

For dual grippers [4], remove the plug in the fitting [3] and attach a small air hose to the second solenoid [5]. Then connect the incoming air hose to the fitting [2] so that both solenoids are receiving air.

6

For the Single Gripper:

Route the (x2) air lines from the gripper to the same color coded fitting on the dual air solenoid assembly. 

Secure the air lines by wrapping them in cable conduit. Use the velcro straps to attach the cable conduit to the Cobot. Make sure there is enough slack so that cables aren't strained when Cobot is fully extended.

Insert the input air hose to the used solenoid's fitting [1]. 

Make sure the plug is installed onto the unused solenoid's fitting [2]. 

7

For the Dual Gripper:

Route the (x2) air lines from gripper #1 to the same color coded fitting on the dual air solenoid assembly. 

Route the (x2) air lines from gripper #2 to the same color coded fitting on the dual air solenoid assembly. 

Secure the air lines by wrapping them in cable conduit. Use the velcro straps to attach the cable conduit to the Cobot. Make sure there is enough slack so that cables aren't strained when Cobot is fully extended.

Insert the short airline [1] connecting the first solenoid with the second. 

Insert the input air hose to the fitting [2]. 

Robot Electrical & Air - Installation

1

Install the dual air solenoid assembly on to the side of the pedestal while giving the airlines enough slack. Make sure it's in a position where it will not be in the way. Route the airline [1] under the machine back towards the CALM cabinet as shown.

2

Inside the CALM cabinet, remove a plug from one of the CALM manifold ports and install the check valve [1] (58-1863) onto the port's fitting. Route the input airline [2] from the dual air solenoid assembly (from previous step) into the CALM cabinet and connect the airline to the check valve.

Turn the machine air supply ON.

3

Make sure to power OFF the control box [1].

Connect the solenoid cable from the dual air solenoid assembly [2] into the Digital Output on the Cobot control box [1]. Remove the connector from Cobot control box.

4

Install the different colored wires into their respective location:

  • Black/white cable into 0V
  • Black cable into DO0
  • Orange/white cable into 0V
  • Orange cable into DO1
  • Red/white cable into 0V
  • Red cable into DO2
  • Brown/white cable into 0V
  • Brown cable into DO3

Power ON the control box.

5

On the Haas pendant, press [CURRENT COMMANDS].

Go to Devices>Robot>Jogging tab. Change the following:

  • Maximum Jogging Speed to 7.9 inch/sec

Go to the Setup tab. Change the following:

WARNING: Setting this value incorrectly can cause the Robot Arm to not move correctly. 
 
  • Number of Grippers to the number of grippers.
  • Raw Gripper Clamp Output to 4.
  • Raw Gripper Unclamp Output to 3.
  • Raw Gripper Clamp Delay to the clamp/unclamp duration in sec.
  • Raw Gripper Clamp Type to OD/ID.
  • Finish Gripper Clamp Output to 2.
  • Finish Gripper Unclamp Output to 1.
  • Finish Gripper Clamp Delay to the clamp/unclamp duration in sec.
  • Raw Gripper Clamp Type to OD/ID.

Verification

1

Test the Operation of the Grippers:

  • Verify that both grippers clamp and unclamp correctly.
  • Press the [CURRENT COMMANDS]  and go to Devices > Robot > Jogging tab.
  • Press [F2] to clamp/unclamp the Finish Gripper.
  • Press [F3] to clamp/unclamp the Raw Gripper.
