Moving Each Axis with Motor Power OFF in an Emergency Stop or When a Worker Trapped by the Robot
The VS-*** series of robots has brakes on all axes. At the time of an emergency stop or when a worker is trapped by the robot, to move axes with the motors OFF, release the brakes using either of the following two procedures.
UL-listed robot units cannot release brakes with a teach pendant or a mini-pendant.
For Standard Type Robot
Release the brakes with Teach Pendant or Mini Pendant.
For details, refer to "Displaying and Setting the Arm Maintenance Functions" of TEACH PENDANT OPERATION GUIDE, or "Releasing and Locking Brakes(6-axis)" of MINI PENDANT OPERATION GUIDE.
For UL-Listed Robot Units
Release the brakes using the Brake release unit. The way of releasing brakes is as follows;
- Select the axis to be released with the axis selector switch.
- Press the brake release button.
Only when the controller power is ON, brakes can be released.
Motor-ON lamps are mounted to UL-listed robot units on the left and right sides of the first arm.
