Introduction
The Adept 550 robot is a four-axis SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm)
robot. Joints 1, 2, and 4 are rotational and Joint 3 is translational. See Figure 1-1 for a
description of the robot joint locations.
The Adept 550 robot is designed to interface with the Adept MV controller and PA-4
power chassis (see Figure 1-2). The control and operation of the robot is programmed and
performed through the controller.
