Installation 

1/- Tool part holder Installation

The tool part holder (WM1-P-03-01) supports an end-effector of up to 5 kg (rated couple payload) installed in the tool part holder with a center of gravity that results in up to 1 Nm of torque between the tool part holder and the tool part (WM1-P-02-01-01).

The tool part holder has two elongated holes intended for 6 mm bolts for installation. The two mounting holes makes installation easy on a tabletop or on standard aluminum profiles such as: 50*100 mm / 50*50 mm / 40*80 mm / 40*40 mm. 

Important : the Tool Part Holder must be installed in a horizontal position. 

 

2/- Robot Part Installation

A/- Install the pin in the robot part.


B/- Install the robot part on the cobot using all four provided bolts. Tighten all four bolts with the torque specified for your cobot.

 

C/- Install the pass-through modules you need for your application if any and install the necessary cables/hoses between your chosen controller and the pass-through modules.

 

3/- Robotiq Screwdriving Solution Installation


A/- Fix the two connectors on the Wingman(™) base

 

B/- Insert the coupling into the corresponding screw holes (red) and alignment pin (blue), then tighten the screws.

 

C/- Insert the screwdriver onto the coupling, aligning the screw holes (red) and pin (blue), then secure it using the screws.

 

D/- The configuration is now complete

 

E/- Plug the assembly into the Wingman(™) tool holder.




4/- Robotiq Gripper Installation



A/- Fix the connector on the Wingman(™) base

B/- Insert the coupling into the corresponding screw holes and alignment pin, then tighten the screws.


 

C/- Insert the gripper onto the coupling, aligning the screw holes and pin, then secure it using the screws.

D/- The configuration is now complete.

 

E/- Plug the assembly into the Wingman(™) tool holder.


 

Software Configuration

  1. Update the robot firmware by using this article.

  2. Update Polyscope

  3. Install the required URCaps (Robotiq and Wingman(™))

 

 

Program Templates

1/- Tools Programs

A/- Create a Tool. Add the node AAA - Tools on the before Start and click on “Create Tools”. 

B/- Configure the TCP. Tool information and TCP data are available on the Robotiq Support website.

C/- Configure the Tool I/O as the picture bellow : 

D/- Configure the Tool Holder Pos (please refer to the WINGMAN User Guide section "8.5.3 Basic setup of tool change movement")



2/- Robotiq Screwdriver Programs

The screwdriver operates using a simple logic.

Notes:

  • The function AAA – Get “Tools” allows the robot to retrieve a tool from the tool part holder.

  • The function AAA – Put “Tools” allows the robot to place the tool back onto the tool part holder.

  • The script rq_screw_activate()  is used to activate the screwdriver before using it.


3/- Grippers Programs

All Robotiq grippers operate using the same logic and can share a common program template.

Notes:

  • The function AAA – Get “Tools” allows the robot to retrieve a tool from the tool part holder.

  • The function AAA – Put “Tools” allows the robot to place the tool back onto the tool part holder.

  • When using a gripper for the first time, it must be activated and reset before normal operation.

  • The script rq_disconnect_grippers() is used to properly disconnect a gripper when it will be reconnected later.

  • The script rq_reconnect_grippers("Id of the gripper") remembers which gripper was connected and reconnects it automatically after a tool change.


Documentation



Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the robot firmware and Polyscope are up to date.
  • Verify that the gripper or screwdriver is correctly recognized.
  • Use the following scripts for diagnostics: 
    • rq_is_gripper_connected()
    • rq_get_screw_status()

 

Conclusion

Integrating a Triple A robotics Wingman(™) tool changer with Robotiq screwdriving solutions and grippers enables flexible multi-tool applications on Universal Robots. Correct hardware selection, careful mechanical installation, and proper software configuration are essential to ensure reliable operation. Refer to Robotiq Support resources for detailed tool data, URCaps, and programming examples.
