Adept Python Modules

The Adept Python Linear Modules product line consists of precision ball-screw driven
modules that function as single-axis mechanisms, and can also be combined into
numerous two-, three-, and four-axis configurations. Each linear module is available in
different lengths (see
adds a rotational axis to a Python system, providing additional handling options. You can
find drawings for the multiple axis configurations in
Most module configurations are shipped fully assembled, so the user only needs to
connect the controller and any peripherals. This manual describes the different module
and system types, and covers the basic steps of installing a typical system. Refer to

MotionBlox-10 Servo Controller and Amplifier

Each module axis is controlled and powered by its own on-board servo controller and
amplifier, called a MotionBlox-10 (MB-10). Each MB-10 is linked via the IEEE 1394
high-speed serial communication protocol to the Adept SmartController.
