We use the PHD connect on our co-bots too, the built in valving from MAC valves makes it extremely clean and reliable too.

Fun fact, you don't need any UR Cap softare to run a PneuConnnect gripper on the robot.

[@UniversalRobotsVideo]

That is true, but a URCap makes it much easier to program and control the gripper directly from the UR teach pendant :-)

@@UniversalRobotsVideo That's true but there's no danger of running into any software incompatibilities if and when you upgrade polyscope.
