Brake Release Button
Under some circumstances you may want to manually position Joint 3 on the Z-Axis
without turning on High Power. For such instances, a “Z” Brake Release button is located
above the robot status panel (see
). When system power is on,
pressing this button releases the brake, which allows movement of Joint 3.
If this button is pressed while High Power is on, High Power will automatically shut
down.
WARNING:
Due to the effect of gravity, pressing the Brake
Release button may cause the quill and tool flange to fall.
When the Brake Release button is pressed, Joint 3 may
drop to the bottom of its travel. To prevent possible
damage to the equipment, make sure that Joint 3 is
supported while releasing the brake and verify that the
end-effector or other installed tooling is clear of all
obstructions.
