Environmental and Facility Requirements for AdeptModules
AdeptModules Instruction Handbook, Volume 1: Adept MV Controller Interface, Rev. A 31
2.1 Environmental and Facility Requirements for AdeptModules
The information in this chapter applies to all AdeptModules except when differences are
specifically noted.
Facility Ambient Air Quality for AdeptModules
Compressed Air for the AdeptModules
The AdeptModules do not require compressed air to operate, but it is often needed for
end-effectors or tooling. AdeptModule to AdeptModule cabling includes built-in air
hoses, which are rated for 6 Kgf/cm

maximum pressure. The tube diameter is 6mm
(.23 inch).
Mounting Surface Specifications
The floor at the installation site must comply with all local codes and be level. Any
mounting structure vibration or flexing will seriously degrade AdeptModules
performance. Adept recommends using either a mounting plate or a table type base. If
some other type of mounting structure is used, it must adequately resist vibration and
flexure.
Mounting Surface
The mounting surface should conform to the following recommended specifications:
• Material: Finished Surface (free from projections)
• Dimensions: Determined by AdeptModule Cofiguration
• Mounting Surface Flatness: Within 0.1 mm (0.004 inch)
• Mounting Hole Pattern: As Shown in AdeptModules Instruction Handbook,
Volume 2: Mechanical Assembly
2.2 Environmental and Facility Requirements for Controller
The Adept MV controller installation must meet the operating environment requirements
shown in Table 2-1. See Table 2-8 for electrical requirements.
Table 2-1. Operating Environment Requirements
Ambient temperature 0 - 40° C (20 - 80% humidity, non- condensing)
Altitude up to 2000 m (6500 ft.)
Pollution degree 2
