UCC-1.7.0 Release Scope
Robotiq released Wrist Camera URCap version UCC-1.7.0 on February 28, 2019. The release expands camera-parameter access, improves camera positioning during calibration and snapshot setup, and addresses communication, installation, program-editing, loading, stability, and Dashboard Server issues.
Configure Basic or Expert Mode
Select the layout according to the required level of control. Both modes retain access to existing parameters, while Expert mode exposes the complete camera-settings interface documented for this release.
| Mode | Available controls | Selection criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Existing parameters plus direct image-exposure sensitivity adjustment | Use for faster routine adjustment |
| Expert | All camera parameters, including manual exposure controls; the release also adds controls for exposure, LED intensity, and white balance | Use when the application requires detailed image tuning |
Slider controls support touch input for faster adjustment. The evidence does not provide parameter ranges or recommended values, so tune each control against the acquired image and application requirements.
Position the Camera and Snapshot
- Before calibration, use the alignment button to make the camera perpendicular to the nearest robot axis.
- Complete calibration, then use the workplane-positioning button to move the camera over its central aiming point and align it with the calibration workplane.
- From the program node, use the snapshot-position button to move directly to the configured snapshot position.
Verify the camera orientation before calibration, confirm alignment with the intended workplane afterward, and inspect the acquired image at the snapshot position before relying on the program sequence.
Performance Improvements and Corrected Behavior
UCC-1.7.0 improves frame rate and image-acquisition speed. It also improves USB communication responsiveness, simplifies vision-server installation, corrects program undo/redo behavior, improves program loading time and model stability, and fixes access to the UR Dashboard Server. The release evidence does not provide measured performance gains, affected earlier versions, or a firmware compatibility matrix.
