Speed Bars
The speed bars control the AdeptModules speed and direction (see Figure 4-5). The
joint(s) that will move when the speed bars are pressed depend(s) on the “state” selected
with the MAN/HALT button. Press the speed bars with your left thumb. Pressing the
speed bars near the outer ends will move the AdeptModules faster; pressing the speed bar
near the center will move the AdeptModules slower. The maximum speed of the
AdeptModules in Manual mode is 250 mm per second (10 ips).
NOTE: Refer to Appendix D for testing and troubleshooting information.

movement of Z-axis is downward. Before the speed bars will move an axis, the correct
axis must be selected from the Joint /Axis control buttons.
