Attention
- Brake performance for extended-joints cannot be checked.
- This command cannot be executed in the machine-lock state or during robot motion.
- If you execute it near the software motion limit and the error [0x8320407* : J* software limit over] occurs, execute it again in a position away from the software motion limit.
- If the error [0x8440731* : J*:Brake check has been interrupted because the limit has been reached] occurs in the VLA series, change to a posture that is not easily affected by gravity (example: J(0,0,0,0,0,0)) and execute again.
- In the VMB series, command execution time differs between Auto mode and Manual mode, therefore we recommend you use in Auto mode.
- If the error [0x844072C* : J*:Timeout occurred during checking brake] occurs frequently in the VMB series, execute it again in the external speed 100 % in Auto mode. If it still occurs frequently, the brake or motor performance may have deteriorated. Contact our service representative for inspection and repair.
