A: Manual operation
Move the non-excited robot manually.
Joints with no electromagnetic brake can be moved manually as they are.
Joints with the brakes (Joint #3 only, or Joints #3 and #4) can be moved manually
while the break release switch on the manipulator is being pressed with the
controller ON.
Also, manipulators can be moved manually by releasing the electromagnetic brake
from the command window of the EPSON RC+.
CAUTION
■
Normally, release the brake of joints one by one.
Take extra care if
you need to release the brakes of two or more joints simultaneously.
Releasing the brakes of two or more joints simultaneously may
cause hands and fingers to be caught and/or equipment damage to
or malfunction of the Manipulator as the arms of the Manipulator
may move in unexpected directions.
■
Be careful of the arm fal
ling when releasing the brake. While the
brake is being released, the Manipulator’s arm falls by its own
weight.
The arm falling may cause hands and fingers to be caught
and/or may cause equipment damage to or malfunction of the
Manipulator.
■
Before
releasing the brake, be sure to keep the Emergency Stop
switch handy so that you can immediately press the Emergency
Stop switch.
Otherwise, you cannot immediately stop the arm
falling due to an erroneous operation.
The arm falling may cause
equipment da
mage to and/or malfunction of the Manipulator.
