    Adept Technology Inc. has acquired privately held CHAD Industries Inc., in exchange for a combination of equity and cash to be paid out over three years.

    The acquisition is the latest step in Adept's ongoing photonics automation strategy. Adept will leverage CHAD's expertise in small-parts feeding, precision tooling design, and the handling of odd-form components to add capacity in photonics automation.
