Environmental Concerns- H
NOTE: The Adept SmartController must be installed inside a NEMA-1 rated
enclosure.
The rest of this chapter applies to the non-USDA Accepted Adept Quattro robot, not to the
Adept SmartController.
The Adept Quattro robot is designed to be compatible with standard cleaning and operational
needs for secondary food packaging, as well as less stringent requirements. These design
criteria impact how the environment can affect the robot operations, as well as how the robot
can affect the cleanliness of its operating environment.
The Adept Quattro robot is designed for the following operating conditions:
l IP-67 rating for the robot platform and arms.
l
IP-65 rating for the rest of the robot (with optional cable sealing kit).
l Electroless nickel platforms can be removed and submersed in a COP tank.
This does NOT apply to hard-anodized platforms.
l 1° to 40° C (34° to 104° F) ambient temperature.
l Humidity of 5% to 90%, non-condensing.
l
Mild alcohol, alkali, and chlorinated caustic agents commonly used in cleaning
operations.
The Adept Quattro robot protects the operating environment in the following ways:
l High level of surface coating adhesion prevents erosion of coating during cleaning.
l
Lubricants are contained within multiple seals.
l Ball joints and spring assemblies are designed for minimal particulate generation.
l All moving parts are designed so that small parts are encased within larger assemblies,
and are unable to contaminate the work environment.
