Adept Technology Showcases 3-D Robotic Assembly Simulation Tool At Robot & Vision Show.DETROIT, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 1999-- First Exhibition of Adept Digital Workcell Demonstrates How to Slash Workcell Programming Time in Half Adept Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ADTK), a leading supplier of factory automation products, today announced the first demonstration of Adept Digital Workcell at the International Robot & Vision Show starting today. Digital Workcell is the only 3-D robotic assembly simulation tool available which allows integration engineers to program a workcell without the physical robot or cell hardware. Attendees will experience first hand the product's truly concurrent engineering capabilities. Digital Workcell increases robot engineering productivity by allowing the user to anticipate and/or identify cycle times, program logic errors, unreachable location errors, collision errors and motor saturation saturation, of an organic compound saturation, of an organic compound, condition occurring when its molecules contain no double or triple bonds and thus cannot undergo addition reactions. errors much earlier in the development process. "We'll be showing attendees how to save valuable time and money by using Digital Workcell to take a completed program directly to a robot system for immediate execution," said Joe Campbell, vice president of marketing for Adept Technology. "Typically a robot workcell must be completely built before any programming can begin, delaying the entire process by weeks. At this show we'll be demonstrating how the process can be cut by as much as one half." Adept will be demonstrating Digital Workcell's virtual testing and debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. of programs. Attendees will see how the software can be utilized as a valuable training tool by allowing new AIM and V+ users to experiment with programming without the danger of damaging vital equipment and how it simulates robot controller-executed AIM and V+ programs using the standard AdeptWindows(TM) interface, 3-D graphics with dynamic real-time view interaction and easy to use pull-down menus Also called a "drop-down menu" or "pop-down menu," the common type of menu used with a graphical user interface (GUI). Clicking a menu title causes the menu items to appear to drop down from that position and be displayed. and toolbars. The software's complete library of Adept robots and modules allows the user to program precise virtual models of physically and kinematically accurate Adept mechanisms. Additional features highlighted include pre-built standard application cells, fully editable and kinematically enabled workcell peripherals, automatic collision detection See CSMA/CD and collision avoidance system. (networking) collision detection - A class of methods for sharing a data transmission medium in which hosts transmit as soon as they have data to send and then check to see whether their transmission has suffered a collision with and payload (1) Refers to the "actual data" in a packet or file minus all headers attached for transport and minus all descriptive meta-data. In a network packet, headers are appended to the payload for transport and then discarded at their destination. dynamic checking capability. Adept Digital Workcell requires a minimum of a PentiumPro(TM) processor with Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. NT(TM) Workstation version 4.0 and 128 MB of memory. Complete system requirements To be used efficiently, all computer software needs certain hardware components or other software resources to be present on a computer system. These pre-requisites are known as (computer) system requirements and are often used as a guideline as opposed to an absolute rule. are available by contacting Adept Technology, Inc.
