Setup & Operation 4. Setting of End Effectors
44 LS Rev.10
Brake release switch : LS6
-
Joint #3
and #4 cannot be moved
up/down by hand because the solenoid brake is
applied to the joint while power
to the robot system is turned OFF.
This prevents the shaft from
hitting peripheral equipment in the case that the shaft is
lowered
by the weight of the end effector when the power is disconnected during
operation,
or when the motor is turned OFF even though the power is turned ON.
To move Joint #3 up/down or rotate Joint #4 while attaching an end effector
, turn ON
the
Controller and move the joint up/down or rotate the joint while pressing the brake
release
switch.
This button
switch is a momentary-type; the brake is released only while the button
switch
is being pressed.
The respective brakes for Joints #3 and #4 are released simultaneously.
-
Be careful of the
shaft while the brake release switch is being pressed because
the shaft
may be lowered by the weight of the end effector
.
Layouts
-
When
you operate the manipulator with an end effector, the end effector may
interfere
with
the Manipulator because of the outer
diameter of the end effector, the size of the
work piece
, or the position of the arms. When designing your
system layout, pay
attention to the interference area of the end effector.
