Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Adept Hornet 565 Robots, Product Description
The Adept Hornet 565™ robot is a three-axis parallel robot. The three identical axis motors
control movement of the robot tool in X, Y, and Z directions. On the four-motor model, a fourth
motor on the robot base turns a telescoping drive shaft, which provides theta rotation of the
tool flange through a geared platform.
The Hornet 565 robot is available in two models. One has a J4 platform, a theta motor and
theta drive shaft. This provides ±360° of rotation at the tool flange. The other model has a fixed
platform with no tool flange rotation.
