High Speed Industrial Robot Adept Quattro Robots in High Speed Packaging Applications

http://www.adept.com/products/robots/parallel/quattro-s650h/intro This demonstrates the unmatched speed of the Adept Quattro robot and technical achievements in robot system performance. This is more than simply motor speeds; to manage the robot doing this much in so little time takes a high performance motion controller, software, and electronics.

To the user this means increased product throughput, but not at the cost of control over the motions. Adepts SmartController CX and V+ programming language allow the management of the specific motions: speeds, accelerations and accel profiles, end-of-motion tolerances and behavior, etc. When manufacturers look at automation in a cost-per-pick analysis, being able to pick products faster and more reliably means an improvement to the bottom line.

The unique patented design of the Adept Quattro robot enables this level of performance with its four-arm parallel kinematic (known as PAR-4). This is differentiated from the three-arm delta style robots commonly seen in the industry. The four motors share the load and contribute to the motion, thus reducing the load on the individual joints and allowing greater speeds, higher payloads, and improved performance throughout the entire robots work envelope.

The raw food handling applications are well-served by the only parallel kinematic robot thats been approved by the USDA for meat and poultry processing. The robot was designed from the beginning with hygienic requirements in mind, including available IP66 and IP67 ratings on the base casting and platform.

Adept is a global company, with major offices in the US, Germany, France, and Singapore, as well as many more sales/support offices around the world, plus a wide distributor network in more than a dozen additional countries. We have worked with integrators and manufacturers all over the globe in just about every imaginable industry, and our Applications Engineering department is always ready to help customers get their systems deployed quickly and provide support throughout the product lifecycle. With over 25 years developing advanced automation solutions, Adept brings a wealth of industrial knowledge to every system we deliver. http://www.adept.com/products/robots/parallel/quattro-s650h/intro

Hi Adept People. I have made a simulation of the dynamics of a delta robot. The simulation includes the stiffness of the parallel structure. It should be extendable to the Adept robot also.
