1.3.3 Enabling device and hold-to-run functionality
Three-position enabling device
CAUTION
The person using the three-position enabling device is responsible to observe
the safeguarded space for hazards due to robot motion and any other hazards
related to the robot.
The three-position enabling device is located on the FlexPendant. When
continuously held in center-enabled position, the three-position enabling device
will permit robot motion and any hazards controlled by the robot. Release of or
compression past the center-enabled position will stop the robot motion.
CAUTION
For safe use of the three-position enabling device, the following must be
implemented:
• The three-position enabling device must never be rendered inoperational
in any way.
• If there is a need to enter safeguarded space, always bring the FlexPendant.
This is to enforce single point of control.
Hold-to-run function in manual high speed mode
The hold-to-run function for manual high speed allows movement in conjunction
with the three-position enabling device when the button connected to the function
is actuated manually. This hold-to-run function can only be used in manual high
speed mode. In case of hazard, release or compress the three-position enabling
device.
How to use the hold-to-run function for manual high speed mode is described in
the operating manual for the controller.
Note
The manual high speed mode is not available in all markets.
