1.1 Quattro Robots, Product Description

The Quattro robot is a four-axis parallel robot. The four identical axis motors control move-
ment of the robot tool in X, Y, and Z directions, as well as Theta rotation.

Controllers

The Quattro robot requires a SmartController EX motion controller for control. That controller
can be combined with a user-supplied PLC, for programming.
The robot servo code runs on an SmartServo distributed-motion control platform embedded in
the robot base as part of the power amplifiers.

Sizes and Materials

There are two sizes of Quattro robots, each available with anodized or electroless nickel (EN)
aluminum platforms and anodized aluminum or stainless steel outer arm spoons:
Quattro 650H (Anodized) and Quattro 650HS (EN & SS)
l
and
Quattro 800H (Anodized) and Quattro 800HS (EN & SS)
l
The Quattro 650H and 650HS are also available with stainless steel (SS) plat-
forms.
The eAIB and cable box used with the two HS models are electroless nickel.
The electroless nickel/stainless steel versions of the Quattro 650HS robot are USDA Accepted.
In most aspects, the robots are similar enough that they will be covered together. In areas
where there are significant differences, the Quattro H and Quattro HS robots will be presented
in two chapters, using titles such as Robot Installation - H for the 650H and 800H robots, and
Robot Installation—HS for the 650HS and 800HS robots.

Major Differences between Quattro H and HS Robots

Note that any of the available aluminum platforms can be used on the Quattro 650H and
800H robots.
The Quattro 650HS is also available with stainless steel for platforms.
