Moving Each Axis with Motor Power OFF in Emergency Stop

This section describes how to move each axis with the motor power being OFF when the robot is in an emergency stop. Note that moving the 3rd (Z) and 4th (T) axes requires releasing their brakes beforehand.

Performing the brake release operation drops the Z axis. Make sure beforehand that the release operation will not cause bodily injuries or equipment damages.

Le desserrement du frein provoque la chute de l'axe Z. Vérifier au préalable que le desserrement du frein ne risque pas de provoquer des blessures ou d'endommager l'équipement.
