Adept Cobra™ i-series robots extend the use of robotics to entry-level applications currently utilizing dedicated automation or manual labor -- applications where robots historically have not been considered viable due to prohibitive cost, installation difficulty, and support complications.

"The Adept Cobra i-series robots . . . are the only self-contained SCARA robots in the world with the controller built into the robot arm," said John Dulchinos, vice president of sales for Adept Technology, Inc. "This makes the robot easier to install and operate and gives it a much smaller footprint ideal for basic automation tasks such as mechanical assembly, part transfer, material handling, packaging, palletizing, machine tending, screw driving, and many other entry level applications."

Adept Cobra i600 and Adept Cobra i800 robots are capable of running completely standalone under the Adept MicroV+ operating system and programming language, without an external controller, electronics, or breakout box. Robot installation is reduced to mounting the robot and connecting power. Adept Cobra™ i600 & i800 robots can be deployed quickly and easily and controlled from commands from PC programs, digital I/O, or a programmable logic controller (PLC).
