1.1 Product Description

Adept Quattro s650 Robot

The Adept Quattro s650 robot is a four-axis parallel robot. See Figure 1-1. 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 s650 robot requires an Adept SmartController CX for operation. The
robot is user-programmed and controlled using the SmartController.

NOTE: The Adept SmartController CX must be installed inside a NEMA-1
rated enclosure.

The robot servo code runs on an Adept SmartServo distributed motion control platform
embedded in the robot base.

Mechanical specifications for the Adept Quattro s650 robot are provided in Chapter 7.

Quattro Robot Base

The Adept Quattro s650 robot base is an aluminum casting that houses the four drive
motors, and supports the AIB (Amplifiers-In-Base). It provides four mounting pads for
attaching the base to a rigid support frame. The status LED and status panel are mounted
on the side of the robot base.

Adept AIB

The power amplifiers for the Adept Quattro s650 robot are embedded in the base of the
robot. This amplifier section is known as the AIB distributed motion control platform, and
provides closed-loop servo control of the robot amplifiers, as well as robot I/O.

Adept AIB features:

• On-board digital I/O: 12 inputs, 8 outputs

• Low EMI for use with noise-sensitive equipment

•No external fan

• 8 kHz servo rate

• Sine wave commutation

• Digital feed-forward design

• Temperature sensors on all amplifiers and motors

Product Description

Inner Arms

The four robot motors attach directly to the inner arms through a high-performance gear
reducer. Other than optional user-supplied hardware mounted on the platform, these are

the only drive motors in the Quattro. Figure 1-4 shows a precision carbon fiber assembly

of an inner arm. The RIA-compliant hard stops limit the inner arm motion to -51° and
+123°.

Figure 1-4. Robot Inner Arm

Adept Quattro s650 Robot User’s Guide, Rev B 15

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Ball Joints, Outer Arms

The inner arm motion is transmitted to the platform through the outer arms, which are
connected between the inner arms and platform with precision ball-joints. The outer arms
are carbon fiber epoxied assemblies with identical ball-joint sockets at each end. A bearing
insert at each socket accepts the ball-joint studs on the inner arms and platform, and

allows for ± 60° of relative motion. No ball-joint lubrication is required. See Figure 1-5.

Figure 1-5. Ball Joints between Inner and Outer Arms

Each pair of outer arms is held together with springs that pretension the ball joint
assemblies. The outer arms can be installed and removed without the need for tools.

Platform

The platform converts the motion of the four Quattro motors into Cartesian motion and
Theta rotation of the robot tool.

Platform articulation is achieved by differentially driving the four motors. Tool rotation is
implemented with either a belt-drive mechanism or with direct-drive, for applications
needing higher rotation force but less rotation range.

The Adept Quattro s650 robot currently supports two types of platforms, depending on
the amount of Theta rotation and inertia needed by the customer.

NOTE: The two platforms require different robot parameters. The 4:1
platform is the default. If you have a 1:1 platform, contact your Adept
representative.

16 Adept Quattro s650 Robot User’s Guide, Rev B

Product Description

The 4:1 platform (P/N 08360-000) has a rotation range of ± 180°, achieved with a belt

drive. This is illustrated in Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7.

The 1:1 platform (P/N 08660-000) has a rotation range of ± 50°. The tool flange is mounted
directly to the pivot link: it does not rotate in relation to the pivot link, so there is no idler

pulley or belt involved. This is illustrated in Figure 1-8 and Figure 1-9.
Refer to “Rotation and Payload Inertia - Range” on page 92 for details on rotation and

inertial loading of the platforms.

Both platforms are constructed such that the clocking of the platform relative to the robot

base is critical. This is detailed in “Clocking the Platform to the Base” on page 46.

2.3 Precautions and Required Safeguards

This manual must be read by all personnel who install, operate, or maintain Adept
systems, or who work within or near the workcell.

WAR NI NG : Adept Technology strictly prohibits

installation, commissioning, or operation of an Adept
robot without adequate safeguards according to
applicable local and national standards. Installations in EU
and EEA countries must comply with EN 775/ISO 10218,
especially sections 5,6; EN 292-2; and EN 60204-1,
especially section 13.

Safety Barriers

Safety barriers must be an integral part of robot workcell design. Adept systems are
computer-controlled and may activate remote devices under program control at times or
along paths not anticipated by personnel. It is critical that safeguards be in place to
prevent personnel from entering the workcell whenever equipment power is present.

The robot system integrator, or end user, must ensure that adequate safeguards, safety
barriers, light curtains, safety gates, safety floor mats, etc., will be installed. The robot
workcell must be designed according to the applicable local and national standards (see

Section 2.8 on page 31).

The safe distance to the robot depends on the height of the safety fence. The height and
the distance of the safety fence from the robot must ensure that personnel cannot reach the
danger zone of the robot.

24 Adept Quattro s650 Robot User’s Guide, Rev B

Precautions and Required Safeguards

The Adept control system has features that aid the user in constructing system
safeguards, including customer emergency stop circuitry and digital input and output
lines. The emergency power-off circuitry is capable of switching external power systems,
and can be interfaced to the appropriate user-supplied safeguards.

Impact and Trapping Points

Adept robots are capable of moving at high speeds. If a person is struck by a robot
(impacted) or trapped (pinched), death or serious injury could occur. Robot configuration,
joint speed, joint orientation, and attached payload all contribute to the total amount of
energy available to cause injury.

DANGER: The robot system must be installed to avoid

interference with buildings, structures, utilities, other
machines and equipment that may create a trapping
hazard or pinch points.

Instructions for Emergency Movement without Drive Power

In an emergency, when AC power is removed from the system but DC power is still
present, the arm can be moved manually. The brake release button must be pressed to

enable arm movement. Refer to “Brake Release Button” on page 65.

Emergency Recovery Procedures

In an emergency, follow your internal procedures for emergency recovery of systems.

Additional Safety Information

The standards and regulations listed in this handbook contain additional guidelines for
robot system installation, safeguarding, maintenance, testing, startup, and operator

training. Table 2-1 lists some sources for the various standards.

Risk Assessment

2.4 Risk Assessment

Without special safeguards in its control system, the Adept Quattro s650 robot could
inflict serious injury on an operator working within its work envelope. Safety standards in
several countries require appropriate safety equipment to be installed as part of the

system. Table 2-2 lists some of the safety standards that affect industrial robots. It is not a

complete list. Safeguards must comply with all applicable local and national standards for
the location where the robot is installed.

Assessment

Exposure

When Arm Power is ON, all personnel must be kept out of the robot work envelope by
interlocked perimeter barriers. The only permitted exception is for teaching the robot in

Manual Mode by a skilled programmer (see “Qualification of Personnel” on page 32), who
must wear safety equipment (see “Safety Equipment for Operators” on page 33) and carry

the T1 pendant. Therefore, exposure of personnel to hazards related to the robot is limited
(seldom and/or short exposure time).

Severity of Injury

Provided that skilled personnel who enter the robot work envelope are wearing
protective headgear, eyeglasses, and safety shoes, it is likely that any injuries caused by
the robot would be slight (normally reversible).

Avoidance

A programmer must always carry the pendant when inside the work envelope, as the
pendant provides both E-Stop and Enabling switch functions.

For normal operation (AUTO mode), user-supplied interlocked guarding must be installed
to prevent any person entering the workcell while Arm Power is ON.

Adept Quattro s650 Robot User’s Guide, Rev B 27

Chapter 2 - Safety

DANGER: The Adept-supplied system components

provide a Category 3 E-Stop control system as defined by
EN 954. The robot system must be installed with
user-supplied interlock barriers. The interlocked barrier
must open the E-Stop circuit in the event of personnel
attempting to enter the workcell when Arm Power is
enabled, except for teaching in Manual mode. Failure to
install suitable guarding or interlocks could result in
injury or death.

The E-stop circuit is Dual Channel (Redundant, Diverse, and Control Reliable).

See Figure 7-5 on page 89 for an E-stop internal circuit diagram.

Slow Speed Control Function and Testing

Adept robots can also be controlled manually when the operating mode key switch is in

MANUAL position and the HIGH POWER light on the Front Panel is illuminated.

the
When Manual mode is selected, motion can only be initiated from the pendant (T1). Per
EN 775/ISO 10218, the maximum speed of the robot is limited to 250 mm per second (10
ips) in Manual mode. It is important to remember that the robot speed is not limited when
the robot is in Automatic (AUTO) mode.

The Risk Assessment for teaching this product depends on the application. In many
applications, the programmer will need to enter the robot workcell while Arm Power is
enabled to teach the robot. Other applications can be designed so that the programmer
does not have to enter the work envelope while Arm Power is ON. Examples of
alternative methods of programming include:

1. Programming from outside the safety barrier.

2. Programming with Arm Power OFF.

3. Copying a program from another (master) robot.

4. Off-line or CAD programming.

Control System Behavior Category

The following paragraphs relate to the requirements of European (EU/EEA) directives for
Machinery, Electric Safety, and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

In situations with low exposure consideration factors, European Standard EN 1050
specifies use of a Category 1 Control System per EN 954. EN 954 defines a Category 1
Control System as one that employs Category B components designed to withstand
environmental influences, such as voltage, current, temperature, EMI, and well-tried
safety principles. The standard control system described in this guide employs hardware
components in its safety system that meet or exceed the requirements of the EU Machinery
Directive and Low Voltage Directive.

28 Adept Quattro s650 Robot User’s Guide, Rev B

The standard control system is fully hardened to all EMI influences per the EU EMC

Directive and meets all functional requirements of ISO 10218 (EN 775) Manipulating Robots
Safety. In addition, a software-based reduced speed mode has been incorporated to limit

speed and impact forces on the operator and production tooling when the robot is
operated in Manual Mode.

The standard control system meets or exceeds the requirements imposed by the EN 954
specified Category 1 level of safety.

2.5 Intended Use of the Robots

The installation and use of Adept products must comply with all safety instructions and
warnings in this manual. Installation and use must also comply with all applicable local

and national requirements and safety standards (see Section 2.8 on page 31).

The Adept Quattro s650 robot is intended for use in parts assembly and material handling
for payloads less than 2.0 kg (4.4 lb).

The Adept Quattro s650 robot and the Adept SmartController are component
subassemblies of a complete industrial automation system. The controller must be
installed inside a suitable enclosure. The controller must not come into contact with
liquids.

Chapter 2 - Safety

2.6 Robot Modifications

It is sometimes necessary to modify the robot in order to successfully integrate it into a
workcell. Unfortunately, many seemingly simple modifications can either cause a robot
failure or reduce the robot’s performance, reliability, or lifetime. The following
information is provided as a guideline to modifications.

WAR NI NG : For safety reasons, it is prohibited to make

certain modifications to Adept robots.

Acceptable Modifications

In general, the following robot modifications will not cause problems, but may affect
robot performance:

• Attaching utility boxes, solenoid packs, vacuum pumps, cameras, lighting, etc., to
the robot base.

• Attaching hoses, pneumatic lines, or cables to the robot. These should be designed
so they do not restrict arm motion or cause robot motion errors.

• Attaching user tooling to the platform.

NOTE: Due to the kinematics of parallel robots, user cabling and tooling
can have a significant effect on robot performance, and must be budgeted
into the 2 kg payload rating of the Adept Quattro s650 robot. Significant
consideration should be placed on symmetrically loading the platform,
and not overloading one arm with respect to the others.

Unacceptable Modifications

The following modifications may damage the robot, reduce system safety and reliability,
or shorten the life of the robot.

CAUTION: Making any of the modifications outlined

below will void the warranty of any components that
Adept determines were damaged due to the modification.
You must contact Adept Customer Service if you are
considering any of the following modifications.

• Modifying any of the robot harnesses or robot-to-controller cables.

• Modifying any robot access covers or drive system components.

• Modifying, including drilling or cutting, any robot casting.

• Modifying any robot electrical component or printed-circuit board.

• Modifications that compromise EMC performance, including shielding.
