1.1 Product Description
Adept Cobra s600/s800™ Robots
The Adept Cobra s600 and s800 robots are four-axis SCARA robots (Selective Compliance
Assembly Robot Arm). See the following figure. Joints 1, 2, and 4 are rotational; Joint 3 is
translational. For a description of the robot joint locations, see Robot Joint Motions on page 10.
The Adept Cobra s600 and s800 robots require an Adept SmartController™ motion controller.
The robots are programmed and controlled using the SmartController, running on the Adept
SmartServo distributed motion control platform. Mechanical specifications for the Adept Cobra
s600 and s800 robots are provided in Robot Specifications on page 108.
NOTE: The descriptions and instructions in this manual apply to both the Cobra
s600 and the Cobra s800, except for instances where there is a difference, as in
dimension and work envelope drawings. In those cases the information is
presented for both robots.
