  8. Evolution of Robotics in Packaging "Controlled by Adept" ABB IRB340 FlexPicker • 1980s to 1990s • SigPack Systems used AdeptOne robots • First Delta (3 parallel arm) robot licensed and sold by Demaurex in 1988 • ABB Flexible Automation bought license and built IRB340 FlexPicker • SigPack bought the robots but needed vision guided conveyor tracking solution • Bosch bought Sig and Demaurex • Schubert introduced its own SCARAs to compete with Adept • Invert Mount SCARAs (not direct drive driven) • Adept decided to focus on value of controls technology • Put controls on SigPack and ABB robots SigPack Delta Robot XR31 Confidential - Do not Distribute

  9. Evolution of Robotics in Packaging • 1990s to 2000s • Companies focusing on new generation of mechanisms specifically designed around packaging • Adept designed and marketed table-top SCARAs – Adept Cobra • Focus on light payload (up to 5.5 kg) for very high speed packaging and other discrete automation tasks • Introduced line of 6 axis robots – Adept Viper • Flexibility • Precision • Speed • Common work envelope for robots • Unique advantage of superiority in controls • Dual robot configuration options Adept Cobra Adept Viper Confidential - Do not Distribute

  10. Packaging Solutions • Multiple mechanisms for various Packaging Tasks • Pick-and-Place • Cobra (tabletop or ceiling-mountable) • Quattro • Packing • Cobra • Viper • More flexibility and precision • Palletizing • Viper Confidential - Do not Distribute

  11. Cobra s800 Inverted – latest addition to Cobra product line • Over-the-belt lightweight packaging • 5.5 kg max payload • 800 mm reach • Same high performance as standard Cobra • Dual configuration option Confidential - Do not Distribute

  12. High Speed Pick-and-Place with Quattro • Superior Design • 4 parallel arms instead of just 3 - enables excellent load balance • Lightweight carbon fiber arms for high acceleration • AIB (Amplifiers in Base) saves workspace and cabling • Highest speeds and throughput • 20% better performance and lower cycle times than other parallel /Delta style robots • Ideal for one at a time pick-and- place, packaging and kit assembly applications • Nearly 20% larger work envelope than competitive robots for higher productivity • Consistent performance across entire work envelope Confidential - Do not Distribute

  13. Highest Speeds Confidential - Do not Distribute

  14. Fast and Powerful Rotation Rotation comes for free, equal to a 20mm translation 20 mm 20 mm -212 degrees 0 degrees +212 degrees • Long Lifetime (not telescopic arm) • Fast and Powerful • High Performance even at the extremes of the work envelope • Large Workspace (not telescopic arm) Confidential - Do not Distribute

  15. General Specifications • Largest workspace • 1300 mm diameter • 500 mm Z stroke in certain areas • Rotation/Theta: ± 180° • Repeatability • X,Y,Z: ± 0.1 mm • Rotation: ± 0.4° • Rated Payload: 2 kg • Max Payload: 2 kg 1300 mm ø 250 mm Z stroke Additional 250 mm Z stroke 700 mm ø Confidential - Do not Distribute

  16. Comparison of Performance in Work Space Competitive Parallel RobotQuattro Acceleration is the samethroughout Work Space Acceleration: Red 60 m/s2 Orange 70 m/s2 Yellow 80 m/s2 Green 100 m/s2 Acceleration: Green 150 m/s2 Average PPM 120.. 200 Burst PPM + 20% Average PPM 100..160 Burst PPM +10% Confidential - Do not Distribute

  17. Easy to Add User I/O and End-of-Arm-Tooling • Plenty of space for vacuum tubes, wiring and large grippers • Easy changeover of gripper through replacement of moving platform Confidential - Do not Distribute

  18. Washable • Wash down bundle available for stringent cleaning needs (e.g. raw food handling, etc.) • IP 65/66* (base, inner arms) • IP67* (outer arms, platform) • Smooth surfaces for easy wipe down • Outer arms and moving platform can be removed for easy cleaning *Additional cost for this option Confidential - Do not Distribute

  19. Compact Controls Adept controller is just 1/10th the size of an alternate parallel robot controller! 970 mm 330 mm 190 mm 80 mm 710 mm 725 mm Confidential - Do not Distribute

  20. Integrated Amplifiers in Base of Robot 330 mm 190 mm • Amplifiers in base save floor space and cost of integration • Single/dual robot configuration • Conveyor tracking up to 6 belts • Tightly integrated vision (sAVI or AdeptSight) 80 mm SmartController CX Integrated Amplifier Confidential - Do not Distribute
