Turning the Motor OFF

Some robot models do not have a brake on the axis. When the motor is turned off, the axis without a brake will lose the holding torque so that it will move unexpectedly by the force of gravity or external force. It is extremely DANGEROUS.

Turn the motor OFF when

  1. Anyone enters the restricted space of the robot.
  2. Turning the robot controller off.
  3. Running the robot manually.
  4. Modifying parameters.
  5. Carrying out CALSET (selecting/deselecting joints to be calibrated).
  6. Releasing brakes.

Methods for Turning the Motor OFF

The motor can be turned off using the methods shown below.
The executable token does not need to be set before this operation since it is irrelevant to the executable token setting.
In addition, switching from Auto mode to Manual mode will turn the motor off.

  • Teach pendant and mini-pendant
  • PacScript command
  • I/O

Stop Process after Motor Turn-off

When the motor is turned off, normal tasks stop.
When the motor is turned off while normal tasks are running, all the normal tasks are continue-stopped.
However, the robot controller can be configured not to stop normal tasks.

In such a case, the motor can be turned off while a non-motion command is running. However, turning the motor off while the robot is running will cause an error.
