Q Configuration with Theta
In this configuration, the first, second, and third axes are configured as described in “Q
Configuration” on page 84 . The Theta axis is mounted in a fixed position on the third axis
and operates in an up-down ’Z’ motion, perpendicular to the work surface.
Available in the following configuration:
• Q1236
• Q2336

5.4 System Orientation
The orientation options define the mounting positions of the amplifiers and interconnect
harness tubes, as well as the alignment of the second module with respect to the first
module.
• The first orientation option (Standard or Flipped) refers to the amplifier mounting
orientation on module 1.
• The second orientation option (Standard or Rolled) refers to the orientation of
module 2 (and module 3, if configured). The standard, or right-hand orientation,
applies when viewing the module carriage with the motor end up (this naming
convention is the same for multi-axis systems as for single-axis systems). See the
following drawings for examples.
NOTE: Refer to the Python 3D Linear Modules section of the Adept
website for more information on system orientation.
