Chapter 3 - Power Chassis/Controller Overview
3.1
Adept PA-4 Power Chassis
Introduction
The Adept PA-4 power chassis provides amplified power signals to drive the robot
motors in an Adept 550 robot system. The amplifier modules in the Adept PA-4 power
chassis receive control signals from the Adept MV controller. The amplifier modules then
drive the various robot joint motors at the level commanded by the controller.
The Adept PA-4 chassis is cooled by a fan located in the lower front section. Incoming air
is cleaned by a reusable filter.
Dimensions
For dimensions of the Adept PA-4 power chassis, see Appendix A.
