2.1 Transport and Storage
This equipment must be shipped and stored in a temperature-controlled environment, within
the range –10 to +60 C (14 to 140 F). The recommended humidity range is 5 to 90 percent, non-
condensing. It should be shipped and stored in the Adept-supplied packaging, which is
designed to prevent damage from normal shock and vibration. You should protect the package
from excessive shock and vibration.
The robots must always be stored and shipped in an upright position in a clean, dry area that
is free from condensation. Do not lay the crate on its side or any other position: this could
damage the robot.
2.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Adept Equipment
Before Unpacking
Carefully inspect all shipping crates for evidence of damage during transit. If any damage is
indicated, request that the carrier’s agent be present at the time the container is unpacked.
Upon Unpacking
Before signing the carrier’s delivery sheet, please compare the actual items received (not just
the packing slip) with your equipment purchase order and verify that all items are present and
that the shipment is correct and free of visible damage.
If the items received do not match the packing slip, or are damaged, do not sign the receipt.
Contact Adept as soon as possible.
If the items received do not match your order, please contact Adept immediately.
Inspect each item for external damage as it is removed from its container. If any damage is
evident, contact Adept (see Section 1.9).
Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may be necessary to settle claims
or, at a later date, to relocate equipment.
2.3 Repacking for Relocation
If the robot or other equipment needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation
procedures that follow. Reuse all original packing containers and materials and follow all
safety notes used for installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your warranty.
Before unbolting the robot from the mounting surface, fold the outer arm against the Joint 2
hardstops to help centralize the center of gravity. The robot must always be shipped in an
upright orientation. Specify this to the carrier if the robot is to be shipped.
