Modifications to Meet IP-65 Classification
Outer link
The Cobra s800 Inverted robot has different seals for the IP-65 version. The outer link
cover has been widened slightly to accommodate a larger seal.
The user connections are not available from the outside of the outer link on the IP-65
version. Rather, the outer link cover must be removed to access these connections, and the
connections continue through the quill, rather than outside of the outer link. Refer to
.
AIB Cable Seal
The cables entering the AIB have a special seal assembly to achieve IP-65 classification.
This is covered in
and
Controller
This chapter applies to the Adept Cobra s800 Inverted robot, not to the Adept
SmartController.
NOTE:
The Adept SmartController CX must be installed inside a NEMA-1
rated enclosure.
Hard Stop, Rotation Range
Because the outer link cover has been widened, it cannot rotate as far as the standard
inverted Cobra. The hard stop has been enlarged to limit the outer link’s rotation (at J2), to
prevent the outer link from hitting the robot body.
Table 9-3, “Softstop and Hardstop Specifications,” on page 135
for
specifications for both Cobra versions.

AIB Cable Seal Overview
There are two sealing assemblies for the AIB cables.
One is a Roxtec Cable Seal Assembly. It consists of dense foam with adjustable-diameter
holes for cables. The foam and cables are mounted in a housing that compresses the foam,
thereby eliminating any gaps around the cables.
The other assembly is the cable entry housing, which provides access to the AIB
connections. Instructions for removal and reinstallation of the cable entry housing are
provided in
. The Roxtec assembly is mounted through the cover of this
assembly, and should never need to be disassembled.
In the event that a cable needs to be replaced, instructions are provided in
for removing and reinstalling the Roxtec assembly.
