WARNING: Improper installation, oper-

ation, or servicing may result in

equipment damage or personal injury.

This equipment should only be installed, adjust-

ed, and serviced by qualified technical person-

nel who are familiar with the construction, oper-

ation, and potential hazards of this type of

machine.

All wiring, disconnects, and fuses should be

installed by qualified electrical technicians in

accordance with electrical codes in your region.

Always maintain a safe ground. Do not operate

the equipment at power levels other than what

is specified on the machine serial plate.

WARNING:Voltage hazard.

This equipment is powered by alternating cur-

rent, as specified on the machine serial tag and

data plate.

A properly sized conductive ground wire from

the incoming power supply must be connected

to the chassis ground terminal inside the electri-

cal enclosure. Improper grounding can result in

severe personal injury and erratic machine

operation.

Always disconnect and lock out the incoming

main power source before opening the electrical

enclosure or performing non-standard operating

procedures such as routine maintenance. Only

qualified personnel should perform trou-

bleshooting procedures that require access to

the electrical enclosure while power is on.

INTRODUCTION 1-3

We design equipment with the user’s safety in mind. You can

DESCRIPTION

Conair UCR-150L Robot isideal for applications requiring

quick, consistent part removal. The robot exchanges signals

via the SPI interface on the mold machine to ensure pre-

dictable, constant cycle times. This feature avoids setup prob-

lems and allows accurate time quoting for production and

maintenance schedules.

Use the UCR-150L Robot to eliminate common problems:

● inconsistent cycle times

● improper part/sprue separation

● unsafe sprue/part removal

The Conair UCR-150L Robot is a pneumatic robot that

removes the sprue/part from the injection molding machine.

The UCR-150L minimizes injection machine pause time with

a fast take-out time (1.5 second) by utilizing the slide cylinder

in addition to the main arm cylinder.

The robot is mounted on a fixed platen on the injection mold

machine. When the mold-open-complete signal goes from the

mold machine to the robot controller, the strip frame slides

down at the same time the main cylinder arm enters the mold

area; the gripper grips the sprue/part and removes the item to a

designated area. When the arm moves outside the mold area

the robot can release the sprue/part with or without the option-

al second descent.

IMITATIONS

Choose Conair UCR-150L Robot when you want a low cost,

easily maintained robot. The UCR-150L Robot has a long ver-

tical stoke (950 mm) that allows easy adjustment to an injec-

tion mold machine. The robot does not have a swing in/swing

out movement; rather it transverses the beam. Maximum pay-

load with standard gripper is 4.4 lb. (2 Kg), and without grip-

per, 6.6 lb. (3 Kg).

HOW THE

UCR-150L

OBOT WORKS

The UCR-150L Robot exchanges signals via the SPI interface

on the mold machine. The hand control provides the buttons

for controlling and monitoring the robot. From the hand con-

trol you can:

● monitor the input/output status

● set and adjust cycle timers in both manual and automatic

mode

● adjust mode

● operate/stop the robot manually

● operate the robot automatically

● store programs

The robot receives the signal from the mold machine to

remove the sprue/part. The robot arm moves into the mold

area, grips the part, raises out of the mold and places the part

in a specific location. The robot sends a signal to the mold

machine to begin the next cycle. Each robot is equipped with a

part verification switch to stop the molding machine if a

sprue/part is missed.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Lifting

To avoid personal injury or damage to the robot,

lift the robot using a forklift or hoist with straps

that have been positioned at the robot's center

of gravity.

Carefully uncrate the robot and its

components.

Remove all packing material,

protective paper, tape, and plastic. Compare contents to

the shipping papers to ensure that you have all the parts.

Carefully inspect all components to make sure

no damage occurred during shipping. If any damage is

found, notify the shipping agent immediately. Check all

wire terminal connections, bolts, and any other electrical

connections, which may have come loose during ship-

ping.

Record serial numbers and specifications

in the blanks provided on the back of the User Guide's

title page. This information will be helpful if you ever

need service or parts.

You are now ready to begin installation.

INSTALLATION 3-3

CAUTION: Moving the Robot

When you receive the robot, the swing arm is

bolted to prevent movement. Leave the bolt in

place until the robot is mounted on the press.

Remove after mounting.

WARNING: Improper installation, oper-

ation, or servicing may result in

equipment damage or personal injury.

This equipment should only be installed, adjust-

ed, and serviced by qualified technical person-

nel who are familiar with the construction, oper-

ation, and potential hazards of this type of

machine.

All wiring, disconnects, and fuses should be

installed by qualified electrical technicians in

accordance with electrical codes in your region.

Always maintain a safe ground. Do not operate

the equipment at power levels other than what

is specified on the machine serial tag and data

plate.

AUTIONS AND

WARNINGS

UCR-150L Robot UGR003/0900

INSTALLATION

Plan the location. Make sure the area where the robot is

installed has the following:

● A grounded power source. Check the robot’s serial

tag for the correct amps, voltage, phase, and cycle. All

wiring should be completed by qualified personnel and

comply with your region’s electrical codes.

● Air pressure source. The robot requires a working

pressure of 80 PSI and a maximum pressure of 100

PSI for gripping and vacuum release.

● Clearance for safe operation and maintenance.

Make sure there is enough clearance around the robot

for movement, maintenance and servicing. Be sure the

robot has proper clearance to avoid structures, utilities,

overhead cranes, material hoppers and loading pipes, as

well as other machines and equipment. Be sure that the

maximum envelope is clearly marked and protected

from entry by personnel during operation. The maxi-

mum envelope is the volume of space encompassing

the maximum designed movement of ALL robot parts,

including the end of arm tooling, work piece and

attachments.

Perform the installation in the following order:

❒ Prepare the platen.

❒ Move the robot into position on the platen and attach.

❒ Connect the robot cables.

❒ Adjust the grip and strip movement WITHOUT air

pressure (manually move the arm).

❒ Attach air line and apply pressure.

❒ Make adjustments to the robot (grip, speed, etc.)

❒ Run robot in manual mode, making any adjustments

needed to prevent damage to the robot, mold machine,

and parts. Check interface to assure that mold machine

does not close on robot arm.

❒ Run robot in automatic mode. Do this step only after

robot has been thoroughly tested in the manual mode to

prevent damage to equipment and parts.
