Adept Technology Announces Adept Servo Kit Family for Integrators and OEMs.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2002 New Adept SmartAmp and Motor Packages Enable Machine Builders to Deploy Complete Adept SmartServo Distributed Motion Control Architecture Adept Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADTK), a leading manufacturer of flexible automation for the electronics, fiber optic, telecommunications and semiconductor industries, today announced the release of the Adept Servo An electromechanical device that uses feedback to provide precise starts and stops for such functions as the motors on a tape drive or the moving of an access arm on a disk. Kits, completely self-contained, pre-engineered amplifier and motor packages that are pre-configured to work with the Adept SmartControllers which are all based on the IEEE-1394 (FireWire(R)) technology. Each Adept Servo Kit consists of an Adept SmartAmp with a matched AC servo motor with absolute encoder, amplifier mounting bracket, and documentation. Components such as power and interface cables, remote IO kit, power distribution unit, and cable accessories are available as options. The Adept Servo Kits are based on Adept's state-of-the-art SmartAmp technology and provide true plug-and-play servo compatibility with Adept's line of Adept SmartController products. "Our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and motion control customers asked us for the same benefits we are realizing from our Adept SmartController based products," said Joe Campbell, vice president of marketing for Adept Technology. "The Adept Servo Kits are the last piece of the Adept SmartMotion product line, enabling us to provide a complete solution from the motion controller to the motor." The Adept Servo Kits use the Firewire-based, high bandwidth Adept SmartServo network. Adept SmartServo is a real-time network that is the backbone of Adept's distributed motion control architecture. Several Servo Kits can be daisy-chained to a single controller using significantly less cabling, thereby reducing cost. With the Adept Servo Kits the distributed servo amplifier mounts close to the servo motor thereby eliminating the need for panel space and reducing the length of required cabling. The Adept SmartServo Kits are compatible with Adept's SmartController CS and CX product lines, and all Adept SmartController options and accessories. Adept Technology designs, manufactures and markets factory automation components and systems for the fiber optic, telecommunications, semiconductor, automotive, food and durable goods durable goods Goods, such as appliances and automobiles, that have a useful life over a number of periods. Firms that produce durable goods are often subject to wide fluctuations in sales and profits. Also called consumer durables. industries throughout the world. Adept's robots, controllers, and software products are used for small parts assembly, material handling and ultra precision process applications. Our intelligent automation product lines include industrial robots An industrial robot is officially defined by ISO[1] as an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes. , configurable linear modules, flexible feeders, semiconductor process components, nanopositioners, machine controllers for robot mechanisms and other flexible automation equipment, machine vision, systems and software, application software, and simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. . Founded in 1983, Adept is America's largest manufacturer of industrial robots. More information is available at www.adept.com.
