Adept Quattro s650H Robot

Adept Quattro s650H Robot Design Factors
Outer Arms
The outer arms are a composite assembly of anodized aluminum and carbon fiber. The
interior volume of the carbon fiber tube is designed to be sealed with an internal and
external continuous epoxy bond. The bushings are press-fit into the aluminum outer-arm
ends with a slight interference, which seals the plastic to the aluminum.
The outer arms may be cleaned either with caustic wash-down in place on the robot, or
removal and tank cleaning in hot soapy water.
Springs
The outer arms are attached through the positive pressure of springs that are made of
electro-polished stainless steel. This open spring design allows inspection for
contamination, as well as wash-down or soapy bath.
Platforms
The Adept Quattro s650H robot currently supports two types of platforms, depending on
the amount of Theta rotation and inertia needed.
Both platforms are designed to meet the basic criteria of wipe down compatibility and
long life. Please contact your Adept representative for more information.
9.5 Installing Cable Seal Kit
Overview
The cable seal assembly (P/N 08765-000) must be mounted on the top of the robot during
the robot installation process. The cable seal assembly is shipped separately from the
robot.
Components
• Cable harness
• AIB Cable Seal Housing, 2 gaskets, 4 screws (Figure 9-3)
• Cable Entry Top Cover assembly, screw (Figure 9-4)
This includes the Roxtec CF 8 frame
• 4 x 2-hole Roxtec modules
These are dense foam blocks surrounding pre-cut half-sleeves that can be peeled
away to match the diameter of the cable to be sealed. See Figure 9-6.
• Roxtec grease, used to assemble and seal the modules (Figure 9-7).
NOTE: The Roxtec CF 8 consists of a frame and integrated compression
unit (a wedge and bolt that compress the modules once they are
assembled inside the CF frame). See Figure 9-4.
