Adept AIB™, eAIB™
The amplifiers for the Adept Cobra s800 Inverted robot are embedded in the base of the robot.
This amplifier section is known as the amps-in-base (AIB or eAIB). There are two versions
offered: the AIB and the eAIB. Both provide power amplifiers and full servo control.
The Adept AIB and eAIB feature:
l On-board digital I/O
l
8 kHz servo rate to deliver low positional errors and superior path following.
l Low EMI for use with noise sensitive equipment
l No external fan for quiet robot operation
l
Sine wave commutation to lower cogging torque and improve path-following
l
Digital feed-forward design to maximize efficiency, torque, and velocity
l Temperature sensors on all amplifiers and motors for maximum reliability and easy
troubleshooting
Adept eAIB only:
l
Hardware-based E-Stop and Teach Restrict controls
For improved safety relative to European standards implemented in 2012
The two amplifiers look very similar, and both fit the Cobra s800 Inverted robot.
