"Adept SmartModules are the new measure of value in flexible automation, and we wanted to deliver that same value with the long standing AdeptModules product line," noted Joe Campbell, vice president of marketing for Adept Technology. "Customers who have designed AdeptModules into their cells can now realize significant savings without the expense of re-engineering." AdeptModules are heavy duty linear motion modules. Each self-contained unit has linear bearings, precision ground ballscrew, and an AC servomotor ser·vo·mo·tor n. A motor that controls the action of the mechanical device in a servomechanism.
