Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The Viper 650 robot and Viper 850 robots are high-performance, six-joint robots designed spe-
cifically for assembly applications. The speed and precision of the Viper robots also make
them ideal for material handling, packaging, machine tending, and many other operations
requiring fast and precise automation.
NOTE: The descriptions and instructions in this manual apply to both the
Viper 650 and the Viper 850 robots, except for instances where there is a dif-
ference, as in dimension and work envelope drawings. In those cases, the inform-
ation is presented for both robots. The robot motors are powered by an eMB-
40/60R servo-controller/amplifier. Either robot can be controlled by the eMB-
40/60R, running eV+, or an optional SmartController EX motion controller.
