AdeptThree User's Guide

The AdeptThree has an air filter and moisture trap on its inlet air fitting.

The moisture trap should be emptied periodically; see Chapter 4 for

cleaning instructions. If clean, dry air is not available, additional user-

supplied filtering is required. The AdeptThree air connection inlet is a

1/4-inch Industrial Interchange nipple located at the air filter at the base

of the robot.

Electrical

The facility electrical supply must conform with specifications for the

particular system controller, Adept MC or Adept CC. Refer to the

appropriate controller User's Guide for those specifications.

Adequate space must be provided in the design of the working area

(workcell) to allow for freedom of movement of the AdeptThree within

the area specified in Figure 2-11. Additional allowances are required to

accommodate any installed end-of-arm tooling and the calibration

fixture.

Each robot is calibrated at the factory and the calibration data is stored on

the Robot Signature Card (RSC) in the base of the robot. Under certain

conditions the robot may need to be recalibrated, such as the replacement

of the Joint 3 or Joint 4 modules. Recalibration requires that the

calibration fixture be installed on the base of the robot, see Figure 3-1. If

adequate space is not provided in the workcell, the robot will have to be

removed if recalibration is required.

The floor at the intended installation site must be concrete to a minimum

of 4.0 inches (102 mm) and must comply with all local codes. The floor

should also be level to avoid having to add shims to attain the correct

installation position for the robot.
