What Is URCap?
URCap is Universal Robots’ official plugin platform that enables third-party hardware—like grippers, cameras, and sensors—to integrate directly with UR cobots. It extends the Polyscope interface, giving users simple, drag-and-drop access to external devices without manual coding.
With URCap, you can add tools, control them from the teach pendant, and build automation workflows faster with minimal setup.
Why Download URCap?
URCap simplifies robot cell setup by offering:
Seamless device recognition and configuration
Visual program nodes for gripper actions
Force, speed, and position control directly from the pendant
Full support for UR e-Series robots (UR3e, UR5e, UR10e, UR16e)
Reduced integration time and cleaner automation code
URCap is essential for developers, integrators, and end-users who want quick deployment and maximum flexibility.

How to Install URCap
Copy the .urcap file to a USB stick
Insert into the UR teach pendant
Go to Settings → System → URCaps
Add the file, then restart the robot
Access the new tab in Polyscope to control your electric gripper

Integrate Soft Grippers with UR Robots
Electric grippers that work with URCap offer a clean, cable-only setup—no air lines, compressors, or external boxes. With native Polyscope integration, these grippers are ideal for delicate handling, pick-and-place, sorting, and assembly workflows.
