Adept Technology Announces Entry Level Adept Cobra i-Series Robots
New Entry Level SCARA Robot Extends Use of Robotics to Applications Currently Employing Dedicated Automation or Manual Labor
Livermore, California - June 14, 2004 - Adept Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: ADTK.OB), a leading manufacturer of robotic systems, motion control and machine vision technology for the telecommunications, electronics, semiconductor, automotive, lab automation, and biomedical industries, today announced the availability of the Adept Cobra i-series robots for entry level applications that are currently utilizing dedicated automation or manual labor. Historically robots were not considered viable in these applications due to prohibitive cost, difficulty in installation and complications with support. With its simpler design, plug and play installation and easy to use capabilities the new standalone i-series robots are designed to extend the use of robotics to applications currently employing dedicated automation or manual labor.
"The Adept Cobra i-series robots are revolutionary in design. They are the only self-contained SCARA robots in the world with the controller built into the robot arm," said John Dulchinos, vice president of sales for Adept Technology, Inc. "This makes the robot easier to install and operate and gives it a much smaller footprint ideal for basic automation tasks such as mechanical assembly, part transfer, material handling, packaging, palletizing, machine tending, screw driving, and many other entry level applications."
The Adept Cobra i600 and Adept Cobra i800 robots are capable of running completely standalone under the Adept MicroV+ operating system and programming language, without the need for an external controller, electronics, or breakout box. Robot installation is reduced to mounting the robot and connecting power. Adept Cobra i600 & i800 robots can be deployed quickly and easily and controlled from commands from PC programs, Digital I/O, or a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
Adept Technology designs, manufactures and markets robotic systems, motion control and machine vision technology for the telecommunications, electronics, semiconductor, automotive, lab automation, and biomedical industries throughout the world.
