11.1 Release device
Description
The release device can be used to move the manipulator manually after
an accident or malfunction. The release device can be used for the mo-
tors of axes A1 to A3. It is only for use in exceptional circumstances and
emergencies (e.g. for freeing people).
The release device is mounted on the rotating column of the manipulator.
This assembly also includes a ratchet, two TORX key wrenches, one long
key wrench and a set of plates with one plate for each motor. The plate
specifies the direction of rotation for the ratchet and shows the corre-
sponding direction of motion of the manipulator.
In order to move the manipulator without drive energy in the event of an
accident or malfunction, either a sufficient number of release devices or a
sufficient amount of suitable standard tools must be available.
