RELEASING AXES BRAKES MANUALLY
All axes come equipped with holding brakes. If the position of the manipulator
axes are to be changed without connecting the controller, an external voltage
supply (24 V DC) must be connected to enable releasing of the brakes. The
voltage supply should be connected to the contact at the base of the manip u-
lator (see Figure 6).
Figure 6 Connection of external voltage to enable releasing of the brakes.
When the controller or the voltage device is connected, illustrated above, the
brakes can be released separately by means of the push-buttons on the brake
release unit on the exterior of the axis 3 gear box. The push-buttons are
marked with the appropriate axis name. The names of the axes and their m o-
tion patterns are illustrated in Figure 7.
WARNING: BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKES.
THE AXES BECOME ACTIVATED VERY QUICKLY AND MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY!
