Moving the Bolt X Arm by Hand (Using Brake
Release Function)
In certain situations, it might be pertinent to move the robot arm by
hand. This can be in a situation, for example, when momentum or a
programming error moves the arm against its internal hard limits or if the
camera platform gets stuck against another part of the arm, the motors
might not be able to move from this position without tripping out. To
move the Bolt X arm by hand:
1. Ensure that YRC1000 is powered up and booted.
2. Switch the key on the pendant to ‘Teach’ position.
3. If the E-stop cable as well as the rest of the system are still
connected, switch the key on the safety PLC to horizontal position
to bypass Flair (red LED will come on).
4. Alternatively, if the safety PLC is not available, you can use Bypass
Estop box [20529] and connect it directly to the umbilical.
5. Ensure that the E-stop on the pendant is released and there are no
error messages on the pendant.
6. Release the desk E-stop by twisting the big red button engage the
robot by pressing the small reset button.
WARNING!
Brake release mode can lead to unforeseeable arm movements.
