Chapter 2: Robot Installation 2.1 Transport and Storage This equipment must be shipped and stored within the range –10 to +60° C (14 to 140° F). Humidity should be less than 75%, non-condensing. The robot should be shipped and stored in the Adept-supplied crate, which is designed to prevent damage from normal shock and vibration. You should protect the crate from excessive shock and vibration. Use a forklift, pallet jack, or similar device to transport the packaged equipment. The robot must always be stored and shipped in an upright position. Do not lay the crate on its side or any other non-upright position. This could damage the robot.
The Adept Hornet 565 robot J4 model weighs 52 kg (115 lb) with no options installed. The fixed model weighs 48.6 kg (107 lb) with no options installed. The crate weighs 68 kg (150 lb). 2.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Adept Equipment Before Unpacking Carefully inspect all shipping crates for evidence of damage during transit. If any damage is indicated, request that the carrier’s agent be present at the time the container is unpacked. Upon Unpacking Before signing the carrier’s delivery sheet, compare the actual items received (not just the packing slip) with your equipment purchase order. Verify that all items are present and that the shipment is correct and free of visible damage.
l If the items received do not match the packing slip, or are damaged, do not sign the receipt. Contact Adept as soon as possible (see How Can I Get Help? on page 18). l If the items received do not match your order, please contact Adept immediately. Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may be necessary to settle claims or, at a later date, to relocate the equipment. Unpacking The Hornet 565 robot is shipped in a crate that holds the robot base, outer arms, platform, theta drive shaft, and any accessories ordered. The crate is made of wood. The top of the crate should be removed first. 1. Remove the Klimp ® fasteners holding the top to the rest of the crate.
