These industrial robots and robotics systems are developed for high-speed, precision manufacturing, packaging, and factory automation. Adept's industrial robots and robotics system innovation continue with its expansive line of Cobra SCARA robots, Viper six-axis (articulated) robots, Quattro parallel robots, and Python linear modules (Cartesian robots).

Robot and Motion Controls
With over 30,000 systems installed Adept sets the standard for industrial robot and motion controls. From simple single-robot to sophisticated multi-robot with vision-guidance control applications, Adept robot and motion controls provide the extensive functionality and superior motion-control performance. Adept robot and motion controls enable seamless integration and unmatched reliability.

Flexible Automation Equipment  
Adept has consistently led the industry in the development of innovative and powerful products in flexible automation equipment used for vision guidance and vision-based inspection. Adept pioneered vision-guidance capabilities for robots over 25 years ago and the company remains the performance leader in flexible automation equipment today. The company’s state-of-the-art vision systems provide seamless integration of vision with motion control to create the most robust, scalable, and flexible automation equipment available.

Industrial Automation Software (for the PC, Controller and PLC)
Over 25 years ago, Adept established itself as the technology leader in the robotics industry with the invention of V+, a perfectly-adapted programming language that quickly became the industry standard for robot and motion controls software. The company’s latest software solutions for the PC, controller and PLC focus on an open architecture and standards-based tools that facilitate efficient and robust application development.

Application Products (Flexible and Intelligent Part Feeders)
Adept's application products of robotics system, robot and motion controls, industrial robots, configurable linear modules, machine controllers for robot mechanisms and other flexible automation equipment compliment the current existing work cell and factory automation applications. Adept flexible feeders and intelligent feeders provide client application with the ability to handle a wide array of parts that no conventional part feeder can match. This results in faster equipment integration and quick part changeovers.
