1.1 Introduction
AdeptModules are a family of linear modules (see Figure 1-1) that can be used separately
or combined into 15 unique 2- and 3-axis configurations. AdeptModules consist of a
precision-ground, ball-screw drive mechanism, high capacity linear guides and AC servo
motors. AdeptModules also include fully sealed belt covers to protect the module from
contaminants.
The AdeptModules are designed to interface with the Adept MV controller and PA-4
power chassis (see Figure 1-2) using the Signal Interface Box (SIB). The Adept MV
controller is used to program and control the Modules.
