October 7, 2015 - Adept introduces Viper 700 and 900 6-Axis articulated robots that have fast, precise arm movements with a maximum reach of 723 mm and 912 mm, respectively.
The Viper 700 and Viper 900 models offer the versatility of a large working area with the convenience of a streamlined, compact architecture, making them ideal for assembly, material handling and machine tending applications. They accommodate payloads up to 7 kg.
Other key features include:
- A slim robotic arm design that minimizes the space required for work cells.
- An IP67 rating standard on both models, and corrosion-resistant materials for easy wash down.
- Powerful controls embedded into an amplifier approximately half the size of competitive robot amplifiers, saving floor space and reducing installation cost and complexity.
- A hollow wrist that streamlines cabling to the end-of arm-tooling, minimizing risks associated with brushing cables against other objects in the workspace.
To enable rapid deployment, Viper 700 and Viper 900 robots are equipped with Adept ACE software, a unique tool offering a friendly point-and-click application development environment to allow offline programming, 3D process emulation, and optional vision guidance and conveyor tracking integration. Other system options include Adept's SmartVision MX vision processing platform and high-resolution cameras for machine vision and guidance, and Intelligent Force Sensing for precision assembly applications.
