AdeptSix 300CR Robot Instruction Handbook, Rev. A 63
System Operation -
MV Controller 6
6.1 Introduction
This chapter covers system operation for AdeptSix robot systems using the Adept MV
Controller. If you have an Adept SmartController, refer to Chapter 7.
Verifying that the system is correctly installed and that all safety equipment is working
correctly is a three-step process. This chapter discusses the first two steps.
• Step one reviews starting the control system for the first time and verifying that all
components have been correctly installed.
• Step two (referred to as “commissioning the system”) verifies that all safety
equipment is working properly, after the safe initialization of the control system
has been verified.
• Step three verifies that the robot moves correctly. The Manual Control Pendant is
used for this step and is reviewed in Chapter 8.
6.2 Installation Check List
Before using the robot, make the following checks to ensure that the robot and controller
have been properly installed.
Mechanical Checks
• Verify that the robot is mounted level and that all fasteners are properly installed
and tightened.
• Verify that any end-of-arm tooling is properly installed.
• Verify that all other peripheral equipment is properly installed and in a state where
it is safe to turn on power to the robot system.
WARNING: After installing the robot, it must be tested
before it is used for the first time. Failure to do this could
cause serious injury or equipment damage.
