Adept Technology Inc. has introduced an overhead packaging robot that it says is well suited to industries that utilize high-speed packaging, including food and beverage, medical, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and electronics. The Cobra s800 Inverted robot can perform mechanical assembly, material handling, packaging, machine tending, screw driving, and other precision-based tasks, according to the company. The 4-axis SCARA (selective compliant articulated robot arm) model has a reach of 800 mm, or 31.5 inches, and a vertical stroke of 210 mm, or 8.266 inches. Its maximum payload is 5.5 kg, and it is rated for a 2.0 kg payload. Adept said the new model features integrated vision and conveyor tracking, an intelligence capability that gives a packaging robot the ability to locate objects on the assembly line and guide its motions accordingly.
