Brake Release Unit
While the electromagnetic brake is on (such as in emergency mode), you cannot move any arm by pushing manually. You can move the Arms by hand using the brake release unit while the Controller power is off or right after unpacking.
KEY POINTS
Precautions regarding the brake release unit
- Be sure to prepare at least one set of the brake release unit.
- Place at easy-to-reach location so that you can use it immediately when in a emergency situation.
WARNING
- Turn off the power to the Robot Controller and brake release unit when connecting or replacing the brake release unit or external short connector. Inserting or removing connectors with the power on may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot system.
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.
