Adept systems are computer controlled, and the program that is currently running the robot or
motion device may cause it to move at times or along paths you may not anticipate. When the
light on the front panel is illuminated, do not enter the workcell, because the robot or

motion device might move unexpectedly.
Other Computer-Controlled Devices
In addition, Adept systems can be programmed to control equipment or devices other than the
robot or main motion device. The program controlling these other devices may cause them to
operate unexpectedly. Make sure that safeguards are in place to prevent personnel from entering
the workcell when a program is running.
Adept Technology highly recommends the use of additional safety features, such as light curtains,
safety gates, or safety floor mats to prevent entry to the workcell while
These devices can be connected using the emergency stop circuitry.
Standards Compliance
The Adept SmartVision EX is intended for use with other equipment and is considered a
subassembly rather than a complete piece of equipment on its own.
If the Adept SmartVision EX is used with equipment other than the equipment with which it was
evaluated for standards compliance, you might not be in compliance with those standards.
