Release the Brake by the Software
CAUTION
- Normally, release the brakes of joints one at a time. If the brakes of two or more joints must be released simultaneously due to unavoidable reasons, use extreme care. Releasing the brakes of two or more joints simultaneously may cause the arm to fall in an unexpected direction, resulting in hands or fingers getting caught or Manipulator damage or breakdown.
- When releasing the brakes using the software, the arm may fall by its own weight and operate in an unexpected direction. Be sure to always take measures to prevent the arm from falling and check the safety of your surrounding before working.
- When releasing the brake in the software, always do so with the emergency stop switch within reach. Otherwise, if the emergency stop switch is not easily accessible, you will be unable to immediately stop the arm from falling due to an erroneous operation, which could cause the Manipulator to be damaged and breakdown.
After releasing the Emergency Stop switch, execute the following command in the [Command Window].
>Reset
>Brake Off,[Arm # (1 to 6) whose brake is released]
Execute the following command to activate the brake again.
>Brake On,[Arm # (1 to 6) whose brake is activated]
