1.5 AdeptModules Modifications
Sometimes AdeptModules must be modified to successfully integrate them into a
workcell. Unfortunately, many modifications can cause an AdeptModules failure or
reduce the AdeptModules performance, reliability, or lifetime. The following information
is provided as a guideline to modifications.
Acceptable Modifications
In general, the following AdeptModules modifications will not cause problems but may
affect AdeptModules performance:
• Attaching tooling, utility boxes, solenoid packs, vacuum pumps, screwdrivers, cameras,
lighting, etc., to the AdeptModule mounting plates, combining brackets, or cable
brackets.
• Attaching hoses, pneumatic lines, or cables to the AdeptModules. These should be
designed so they do not restrict joint motion or cause AdeptModules motion errors.
Unacceptable Modifications
If not done properly, the modifications listed below will damage the AdeptModules,
reduce system safety and reliability, or shorten the life of the AdeptModules.
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 AdeptModules harnesses or Modules-to-controller cables.
• Modifying any AdeptModule covers or drive system components.
• Modifying, including drilling or cutting, any AdeptModules casting or extrusions.
• Routing additional hoses, air lines, or wires through the modules or modules cable
tracks.
1.6 Endangerment Through Additional Equipment
Additional equipment, such as grippers, conveyor belts, etc., must not be allowed to
reduce the safeguarding of the workcell.
All Emergency Stop Switches must be always accessible.
In other countries, Adept strongly recommends a similar level of safety be obtained, in
addition to complying with the applicable local and national regulations.
