2.1 Transport and Storage
This equipment must be shipped and stored in a temperature-controlled environment, within
the range –25 C to +55 C. 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.
Use a forklift, pallet jack, or similar device to transport the packaged equipment (see the
following figure).
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.
The Adept Cobra ePLC600 Robot robot weighs 41 kg (90 lb) and the Adept Cobra ePLC800
Robot weighs 43 kg (95 lb) with no options installed.

2.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Adept Equipment
Carefully inspect all shipping crates for evidence of damage during transit. Pay special
attention to any tilt and shock indication labels on the exteriors of the containers. If any
damage is indicated, request that the carrier’s agent be present at the time the container is
unpacked.
