Chapter 11: Environmental Concerns - HS
Temperature
The Adept Quattro HS robot is designed to operate from 1° to 40° C (34° to 104° F) ambient
temperature.
At near-freezing temperatures, moderate robot motions should be used until the robot
mechanical joints warm up. Adept recommends a monitor speed of 10 or less for 10 minutes.
The robot system can sustain higher average throughput at lower ambient temperatures, and
will exhibit reduced average throughput at higher ambient temperatures.
11.2 Cleanroom Classification
The Adept Quattro HS robot is rated for cleanroom class 1000.
Please contact your Adept representative for more information.
11.3 Design Factors
Environmental and cleaning aspects are addressed by the following features in the Adept
Quattro HS robot.
Robot Base and Components
The aluminum robot base and the removable motor covers are coated with a Nylon-based
coating, which will not flake off with repeated high-pressure washings. This coating is
resistant to caustic and chlorinated agents, has strong adherence to the metal base to resist
impact, and has a smooth finish that is easy to clean.
The gearboxes are sealed internally, and sealed externally by a lip seal that is designed to meet
IP-66 rating.
All base seal materials are designed to be compatible with caustic agents and common
industrial cleaning procedures.
CAUTION: Like most seals, it is possible to prematurely
destroy these seals by deliberate, direct, excessive
spraying of water-based agents into the sealing materials.
The motor cover seals allow for periodic motor and fan inspections.
Inner Arms
The inner arms are an epoxied assembly of carbon fiber tube, and aluminum plated with
electroless nickel (EN). The assemblies are resistant to caustic cleaning agents, as well as to
chipping.
The inner arms are sealed at the robot base with a rotary V-ring seal (P/N 09078-101). The
inner arms are designed to meet IP-66 rating.
Ball Joints
The ball studs are stainless steel. The hemispherical plastic inserts are resistant to caustic
agents. The inserts generally produce few wear particulates. The material used in the inserts is
