Temperature
The Adept Quattro s650 robot is designed to operate from 1° C to 50° C (34° to 122° 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.
9.2 Cleaning
Caustic Compatibility
The Adept Quattro s650 robot is designed to be compatible with moderate cleaning agents
commonly used in the cleaning of food processing equipment. All robot components are
designed to handle daily exposure to cleaning agents. Exposure may result in some
discoloration of the materials, but no significant material removal
Water Shedding
Surfaces of the Adept Quattro s650 robot have been designed to shed water. This
decreases the likelihood that contaminants or cleaning agents are not fully removed from
surfaces with a hose-down procedure.
NOTE: The top of the robot base and the amplifiers have flat areas where
it is possible for small amounts of water to pool.
Wipe-Down
Wipe-down cleaning with alcohol-impregnated disposable wipes is appropriate for
cleaning the Adept Quattro s650 robot. Most surfaces and joints have been designed with
smooth internal radii to enable easy cleaning.
9.3 Cleanroom Classification
The Adept Quattro s650 robot is rated for cleanroom FED STD 209E class 100.
