Emergency
Emergency stop switch
After you press the emergency stop switch in emergency, the robot will immediately stop all
motions and be locked. According to IEC 60204-1 and ISO 13850, the emergency stop switch is not
a safeguard. It is a complimentary protective measure and not intended to prevent injury.
Emergency recovery
The emergency stop switch will be locked after you press it. To unlock the switch, you need to
rotate the switch according to the mark on the switch. The alarm can be cleared through the software
only after the emergency stop switch is unlocked. Then the robot arm can be enabled and resumed
from the emergency status.
Forced joint movement
In the unlikely event of an emergency, you may need to move the robot joint/s when the
robot power is either impossible or unwanted. In this case, you must push or pull the robot arm
hard to move the joint.
WARNING
Please operate the robot to recover from the emergency only after the danger of the
robot system is completely removed.
WARNING
Moving the locked joints forcefully may cause joint damage. Please operate only in
emergencies.
