Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Adept Quattro™ Robots, Product Description
The Adept Quattro robot is a four-axis parallel robot. The four identical axis motors control
movement of the robot tool in X, Y, and Z directions, as well as Theta rotation.
The Adept Quattro robot requires an Adept SmartController™ motion controller for operation.
The robot is user-programmed and controlled using the SmartController motion controller. The
robot servo code runs on an Adept SmartServo distributed-motion control platform embedded
in the robot base as part of the power amplifiers.
There are two sizes of Adept Quattro robots, each available with anodized and electroless
nickel (EN) aluminum platforms and outer arm spoons:
l
Adept Quattro s650H (Standard) and Adept Quattro s650HS (EN)
and
l Adept Quattro s800H (Standard) and Adept Quattro s800HS (EN)
The Adept Quattro s650H and s650HS are also available with stainless steel (SS)
platforms and outer arm spoons. The inner arm ends, AIB/eAIB, and cable box
are electroless nickel.
The electroless nickel and stainless steel versions of the Quattro s650HS robot are USDA
Accepted.
In most aspects, the robots are similar enough that they will be covered together. In areas
where there are significant differences, the Quattro H and Quattro HS robots will be presented
in two chapters, using titles such as Robot Installation - H for the s650H and s800H robots,
and Robot Installation—HS for the s650HS and s800HS robots.
Major Differences between Quattro H and HS Robots
Note that any of the available aluminum platforms can be used on the Quattro s650H and
s800H robots.
The Quattro s650HS and s800HS have electroless nickel plating on all aluminum parts. The
s650HS is also available with stainless steel in place of aluminum for platforms and outer arm
ends.
