/min) minimum volumetric flow rate
6 mm of water (0.2 inches of water) differential pressure measured between
the robot and the vacuum source
3/4 inch NPT female thread pipe fitting at the back of the robot
Compressed
air source Clean, dry, oil-free compressed air
75 psi (0.52 MPa)
1.4 SCFM (.04 m 3 /min.) flow rate
3/8 inch NPT female thread pipe fitting at the back of the robot, flow regulator

Quill inside
diameter The inside diameter of the quill must be plugged by the user’s end-effector in
order for sufficient vacuum to develop in the outer link.
9.3 Exclusions and Incompatibilities
Table 9-3. Internally Mounted Hand Valves
Installation
considerations The internal air line normally used to supply the internally-mounted
hand valves (Adept Option Kit P/N 02853-000) is instead used to
provide vacuum to the bellows/outer link. One of the passive 6 mm user
air lines would need to be used instead.
Performance
considerations The air exhausting from the internally-mounted hand valves (Adept
Option Kit P/N 02853-000) may be of sufficient quantity/ quality to cause
the robot to exceed Class 10 Particulate Limits.
