Meet Adept Quattro s650, the newest
material handling speed demon. It's the fastest
industrial robot available. This four-axis parallel link robot leaves conventional robots in the dust. Other robots move 100meters a square second. The Adept Quattro can accelerate 200 meters per square second with a 2kg payload. It is capable of moving 240 parts per minute.
The Adept Quattro is the brain child of CNRS researchers and Fatronik, a foundation from Spain. The robot's incredible speed is achieved with software controls and parallel link technology. After a number of years spent perfecting this robot, the creators approached Adept about production. The first Adept Quattro robots hit the market in early 2007. Their cost ranges from $30,000-50,000 euros.
This
new model's dexterity and speed make it attractive to companies in the food processing, health, and beauty industries. Adept Quattro is also available in a wash-down version.
