When using 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 multiple joints simultaneously may cause the arm to fall in an unexpected direction, resulting in hands or fingers getting caught or damage or failure of the Manipulator.
- After releasing the brake, the arm may fall by its own weight or move to the unexpected direction. Make sure to prepare a countermeasure to prevent the arm from falling and check the operation environment is safe.
- Before releasing the brake, be sure to keep the emergency stop switch in an easily accessible location so that you can immediately press it if necessary. Otherwise, if the emergency stop switch is not easily accessible, you will be unable to immediately stop the arm falling due to an erroneous operation, which could lead to Manipulator damage or breakdown.
After releasing the Emergency Stop switch, execute the following command in [Command Window].
>Reset
>Brake Off,[The number (from 1 to 6) corresponding to the arm whose brake will be turned off]
Execute the following command to turn on the brake again.
>Brake On,[The number (from 1 to 6) corresponding to the arm whose brake will be turned on]
