Transport and Storage
This equipment must be shipped and stored in a temperature-controlled environment,
within the range –10° to +60° C (14° to 140° F). The recommended humidity range is 5 to
90 percent, non-condensing. It should be shipped and stored in the Adept-supplied
packaging, which is designed to prevent damage from normal shock and vibration. You
should protect the package from excessive shock and vibration.
The robots must always be stored and shipped in an upright position in a clean, dry area
that is free from condensation. Do not lay the crate on its side or any other position: this
could damage the robot.
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, please compare the actual items received (not
just the packing slip) with your equipment purchase order and verify that all items are
present and that the shipment is correct and free of visible damage.
If the items received do not match the packing slip, or are damaged, do not sign the
receipt. Contact Adept as soon as possible.
If the items received do not match your order, please contact Adept immediately.
Inspect each item for external damage as it is removed from its container. If any damage is
evident, contact Adept (see Section 1.9 on page 18).
Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may be necessary to settle
claims or, at a later date, to relocate equipment.
Adept Cobra s350 User’s Guide, Rev. C
21
Chapter 2 - Robot Installation
2.3
Repacking for Relocation
If the robot or other equipment needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation
procedures that follow. Reuse all original packing containers and materials and follow all
safety notes used for installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your
warranty. Before unbolting the robot from the mounting surface, fold the outer arm
against the Joint 2 hardstops to help centralize the center of gravity. The robot must
always be shipped in an upright orientation. Specify this to the carrier if the robot is to be
shipped.
2.4
Environmental and Facility Requirements

Mounting the Robot
At least two people should transport and store the packaged equipment (see Figure 2-1).
The robot weighs 20 kg (45 lb) with no options installed.
Worker A
Worker B
Figure 2-1. Transporting Robot
CAUTION: Do not hold the robot by parts other than those
shown above.
Mounting Surface
The Adept Cobra s350 robot is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level surface.
The mounting surface must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during robot
operation. Adept recommends a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate mounted to a rigid tube
frame. Excessive vibration or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance. Figure
2-2 shows the mounting hole pattern for the Adept Cobra s350 robot.
NOTE: On the under-side of the base there are two holes that can be used
as locating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting surface.
See Figure 2-2. Using locating pins can improve the ability to remove and
reinstall the robot in the same position.
The Adept Cobra s350 robot can be mounted on a moving platform with proper attention
paid to adequately supporting the robot cabling. The motor/encoder cable connecting the
robot to the MB-40R is not designed to withstand repeated bending operations and has a
minimum recommended bend radius of 200 mm. The connectors on this cable are not
designed to support any dynamic forces and Adept always advises users to support the
weight of the cable with external supports and tie-downs. Any additional user cabling
should be installed with user-designed cabling supports that do not use these
motor/encoder connectors as attachment points for auxiliary cabling.

Robot Mounting Procedure
1. Using the dimensions shown in Figure 2-2, drill and tap the mounting surface for
four M10 x 30 mm (or 3/8-16 UNC) machine bolts (user-supplied). Also drill two
6H7 diameter holes for a diamond-shaped dowel pin and an internally-threaded
positioning pin. See Table 2-2 for bolt and torque specifications.
WARNING: Do not attempt to extend the inner or outer
links of the robot until the robot has been secured in
position. Failure to comply could result in the robot falling
and causing either personnel injury or equipment damage.
2. Install a diamond-shaped pin into one of the 6H7 diameter holes.
3. Install an internally-threaded positioning pin into the other 6H7 hole.
4. Turn the J2 axis until it comes into contact with the mechanical hardstop to keep
the robot in a safe position.

5. Remove the four bolts securing the robot base to the pallet. One person should
support the J1 axis arm while another person removes the bolts. Retain these bolts
for possible later relocation of the equipment.
6. Lift the robot and position it directly over the mounting surface.
7. Slowly lower the robot while aligning the base and the tapped mounting holes in
the mounting surface.
NOTE: The base casting of the robot is aluminum and can easily be
dented if bumped against a harder surface. Verify that the robot is
mounted squarely (will not rock back and forth) before tightening the
mounting bolts.
8. Install the user-supplied mounting bolts and washers. Tighten bolts to the torque
specified in Table 2-2.
WARNING: The center of mass of the robot may cause the
robot to fall over if the robot is not secured with the
mounting bolts.
NOTE: Check the tightness of the mounting bolts one week after initial
installation, and then recheck every 6 months. See Chapter 7 for periodic
maintenance.

Specifications are established at nominal line voltage. Low line voltage can affect robot
performance.
NOTE: The Adept robot system is intended to be installed as a piece of
equipment in a permanently-installed system.
DANGER: AC power installation must be performed by a
skilled and instructed person - see the Adept Robot Safety
Guide. During installation, unauthorized third parties
must be prevented from turning on power through the use
of fail-safe lockout measures.
Facility Overvoltage Protection
The user must protect the robot from excessive overvoltages and voltage spikes. If the
country of installation requires a CE-certified installation, or compliance with IEC 1131-2,
the following information may be helpful: IEC 1131-2 requires that the installation must
ensure that Category II overvoltages (i.e., line spikes not directly due to lightning strikes)
are not exceeded. Transient overvoltages at the point of connection to the power source
shall be controlled not to exceed overvoltage Category II, i.e., not higher than the impulse
voltage corresponding to the rated voltage for the basic insulation. The user-supplied
equipment or transient suppressor shall be capable of absorbing the energy in the
transient.
In the industrial environment, nonperiodic over-voltage peaks may appear on mains
power supply lines as a result of power interruptions to high-energy equipment (such as a
blown fuse on one branch in a 3-phase system). This will cause high-current pulses at
relatively low voltage levels. The user shall take the necessary steps to prevent damage to
the robot system (such as by interposing a transformer). See IEC 1131-4 for additional
information.

Grounding the Adept Robot System
3.8
Grounding the Adept Robot System
Proper grounding is essential for safe and reliable robot operation. Follow these
recommendations to properly ground your robot system.
Ground Point on Robot Base
The user can install a ground wire at the robot base to ground the robot. See Figure 3-6.
The user is responsible for supplying the ground wire to connect to earth ground.
Ground Point
Figure 3-6. Ground Point on Robot Base
Ground Point on MotionBlox-40R
The user can install a ground wire at the MB-40R chassis. Use the hole below the MB-40R
interface panel - see the following figure. The user should provide a ground wire and use
the provided M3 screw and external tooth lockwasher to connect to earth ground. Make
sure to tighten the screw on the ground wire to create a proper ground connection.
Optionally, two tapped holes are provided to attach user-supplied strain relief.
Ground Point
Figure 3-7. Earth Ground Location on MB-40R
Robot-Mounted Equipment Grounding
The Adept Cobra s350 Joint 3 quill and tool flange are not reliably grounded to the robot
base. If hazardous voltages are present at any user-supplied robot-mounted equipment or
tooling, you must install a ground connection from that equipment/tooling to the ground
point on the robot base. Hazardous voltages can be considered anything in excess of 30
VAC (42.4 VAC peak) or 60 VDC.
Adept Cobra s350 User’s Guide, Rev. C
35
Chapter 3 - System Cable Installation
See also Figure 8-3 on page 75 for the grounding point on the tool flange.
DANGER: Failing to ground robot-mounted equipment or
tooling that uses hazardous voltages could lead to injury
or death of a person touching the end-effector when an
electrical fault condition exists.
3.9
Installing User-Supplied Safety Equipment
The user is responsible for installing safety barriers to protect personnel from coming in
contact with the robot unintentionally. Depending on the design of the workcell, safety
gates, light curtains, and emergency stop devices can be used to create a safe
environment. Read the Adept Robot Safety Guide for a discussion of safety issues.
Refer to the Adept SmartController User’s Guide for information on connecting safety
equipment into the system through the XUSR connector on the SmartController. There is
a detailed section on Emergency Stop circuits and diagrams on recommended E-Stop

XIO Output Signals
The eight digital outputs share a common, high-side (sourcing) driver IC. The driver is
designed to supply any kind of load with one side connected to ground. It is designed for
a range of user-provided voltages from 10 to 24 VDC, and each channel is capable of up to
0.7 A of current. This driver has overtemperature protection, current limiting, and
shorted-load protection. In the event of an output short or other overcurrent situation, the
affected output of the driver IC turns off and back on automatically to reduce the
temperature of the IC. The driver draws power from the primary 24 VDC input to the
robot through a self-resetting polyfuse.
The outputs are accessed through direct connection to the XIO connector (see Table 4-6 on
page 44), or through the optional XIO Termination Block. See the documentation supplied
with the Termination Block for details.

Brakes
The robot has a braking system that decelerates the robot in an emergency condition, such
as when the emergency stop circuit is open or a robot joint passes its softstop.
The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 CE safety
requirements. It supports a customer-programmable E-Stop delay that maintains motor
power for a programmed time after the E-Stop is activated. This customizable feature
allows the motors to decelerate under servo control to a stop. This can aid in eliminating
coasting or overshooting on low friction mechanisms. It can also aid in the reduction of
wear on highly-geared, high-inertia mechanisms, while maintaining safety compliance
per all standards.
The braking system will not prevent you from moving the robot manually once the robot
has stopped (and High Power has been removed).
In addition, Joints 3 and 4 have electromechanical brakes. The brakes are released when
high power is enabled. When High Power is turned off, the brakes engage and hold the
positions of Joints 3 and 4. There is a Brake Release button for Joints 3 and 4 on the
MB-40R and a Brake Release button on the robot itself. See “Brake Release Button on
MB-40R” on page 40 for information on the Brake Release button on the MB-40R.
The Programmable E-Stop delay can be set up in Adept ACE, in the robot editor. The
default setting is appropriate for most applications. See the following section.
Programmable E-Stop Delay
To set the programmable E-Stop delay from the ACE software, go to the object editor for
the robot, and enable Expert Access:
Object > Expert Access
NOTE: This requires a password to enable.
Once enabled, you will be able to see and modify the following three parameters (among
others):
• Auto Mode E-Stop Shutdown Timeout
• Hold-to-Run E-Stop Shutdown Timeout
• Manual Mode E-Stop Shutdown Timeout
Each of these is the time, in seconds, after that mode E-Stop is asserted, in which V+ is
allowed to decelerate the robot, engage the brakes, and shut down power before the servo
nodes automatically shut down power. The value can be set from 0 (immediate power-off)
to 0.512 seconds. If the deceleration is too slow, or the brake-on delay too long, the servo
will automatically cut power.

Chapter 5 - System Operation
Brake Release Button
Under some circumstances you may want to manually position Joint 3 or Joint 4. For such
instances, a Brake Release button is provided. When system power is on, pressing this
button releases the brake, which allows movement of Joint 3 and Joint 4.
NOTE: 24 Volt robot power must be ON to release the brakes.
If this button is pressed while high power is on, high power will automatically shut down.
Figure 5-1. Brake Release Button for Third and Fourth Axes
CAUTION: When the Brake Release button is pressed,
Joint 3 may drop to the bottom of its travel. To prevent
possible damage to the equipment, make sure that Joint 3
is supported while releasing the brake and verify that the
end-effector or other installed tooling is clear of all
obstructions.

3. Manual/Automatic Mode Switch
Switches between Manual and Automatic mode. In Automatic mode, executing programs
control the robot, and the robot can run at full speed. In Manual mode, the system limits robot
speed and torque so that an operator can safely work in the cell. Manual mode initiates
software restrictions on robot speed, commanding no more than 250 mm/sec.
4. High Power On/Off Switch and Lamp
Controls high power, which is the flow of current to the robot motors. Enabling high power is
a two-step process. An “Enable Power” request must be sent from the user-supplied PC, an
executing program, or the T2 pendant. Once this request has been made and the High Power
On/Off lamp/button is blinking, the operator must press and release this button, and high
power will be enabled.
NOTE: The use of the blinking High Power button can be configured (or
eliminated) in software. Your system may not require this step.
NOTE: If enabled, the Front Panel button must be pressed while blinking
(default time-out is 10 seconds). If the button stops blinking, you must
enable power again.
5. Emergency Stop Switch
The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 CE safety requirements.

Installing End-Effectors
The user is responsible for providing and installing any end-effector or other end-of-arm
tooling. End-effectors can be attached to the tool flange using four M6 screws. See Figure
8-3 on page 75 for a detailed dimension drawing of the tool flange.
A 6 mm diameter x 12 mm dowel pin (user-supplied) fits in the through-hole in the tool
flange and can be used as a keying or anti-rotation device in a user-designed end-effector.
If hazardous voltages are present at the end-effector, you must install a ground
connection from the base of the robot or the outer link to the end-effector. See “Grounding
the Adept Robot System” on page 35.
NOTE: A threaded hole is provided on the tool flange. The user may
attach a ground wire through the quill, connecting the outer link and the
tool flange.
6.2
Removing and Reinstalling the Tool Flange
The tool flange can be removed and reinstalled. If the flange is removed, it must be
reinstalled in exactly the same position to avoid losing the calibration for the system.
There is a setscrew on the flange that holds the rotational position of the flange on the
quill shaft. The setscrew contacts a flat section of the quill shaft. Follow the procedures
below to remove and replace the flange assembly.
Removing the Flange
1. Turn off high power and system power to the robot.
2. Remove any attached end-effectors or other tooling from the flange.
3. Use a 2.5 mm Allen driver to loosen the setscrew (see Figure 6-1 on page 58).
4. Loosen the two M4 socket-head cap screws.
5. Slide the flange down slowly until it is off the shaft.

Reinstalling the Flange
1. Slide the flange up on the quill shaft as far as it will go, and rotate it until the
setscrew is lined up with the flat section on the quill shaft.
CAUTION: The setscrew must align with the flat section of
the shaft or damage to the quill will result.
2. Support the flange while using a 2.5 mm Allen driver to tighten the setscrew to
finger tightness. Do not over-tighten the setscrew because this will cause the
flange to be off-center from the quill shaft.
3. Tighten one of the M4 screws part of the way, then tighten the other one the same
amount. Alternate between the two screws so there is even pressure on both
when they are tight. The torque specification for each screw is 8 N·m (70 in-lb).

Camera Mounting
A camera can be mounted on the Cobra s350 by installing a user-supplied camera bracket.
The bracket is installed on the underside of the robot - see Figure 6-6 for the location and
dimensions of the mounting holes. See Figure 6-7 on page 64 and Figure 6-8 on page 65 for
drawings of the brackets. The user must fabricate this bracket, it is not available from
Adept.
An optional camera channel (40861-00830) and camera mounting block (40861-00660) are
available from Adept. These can be attached to the user-supplied camera bracket, see

Cobra s350 CR/ESD Cleanroom Option
Introduction
The Adept Cobra s350 CR/ESD Cleanroom Option is a modification to the standard robot
that certifies the robot to meet the Class 4 Airborne Particulate Cleanliness Limits as
defined by ISO Standard 14644 (Class 10 for Federal Standard 209E), as well as special
requirements for control of Electrostatic Discharges to the robot surface.
NOTE: Federal Class 1 Limits (ISO 3) can be achieved by running the
robot at lower speeds and increasing the vacuum flow from the robot
base.
This option is a factory-installed configuration. Changes to the robot include the addition
of bellows assemblies mounted at the Joint 3 quill, increased sealing at the joints, fully
sealed access covers, and a vacuum system to evacuate the arm.

ESD Control Features
The Adept s350 CR/ESD robot is compatible with common magnetic semiconductor ESD
control measures. The surface of the robot is painted so that it is resistively coupled to the
robot ground. The bellows are also made of a resistive material that will conduct electrical
charges to the robot ground. This treatment precludes the buildup of any electrical charge
(such as tribocharging) on the robot surfaces. In addition, it is formulated to provide a
significant resistance to ground so that charged surfaces brought in close proximity to the
robot will slowly leak into the robot ground - rather than arc quickly to ground and create
a magnetic field event.
Contact Adept for your specific application details.

Maintenance
Bellows Replacement
Check the bellows periodically for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace the upper and lower
bellows if necessary, using the procedures below. Adept part numbers: 05555-000 (upper)
and 05556-000 (lower).
Procedure for Lower Bellows Replacement
1. Remove the lower clamp ring from the bearing ring by loosening the screw on the
clamp. See Figure 9-3.
2. Remove the tool flange. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 57 for the tool flange removal
procedure.
3. Remove the upper clamp ring by loosening the screw on the clamp.
4. Slide the old bellows down off of the quill.
Adept Cobra s350 User’s Guide, Rev. C
