xMate CR7Hardware Installation Manual
In Manual mode, the speed of the robot's end effector is limited to 250 mm/s. This means
that the maximum speed of the robot will not exceed 250 mm/s whether you jog the robot
or execute a program, regardless of the speed set in the program.
2.5.3.3
Bypassing external safety signals
In Manual mode, signals of external safety devices such as the safety gate and safety grating
will be bypassed. This means that the emergency stop will not be triggered in Manual mode
even if the safety gate is open, which facilitates the debugging.

Safety precautions in Automatic mode
2.5.4.1
About the Automatic mode
The Automatic mode is used for running the robot program in production.
In Automatic mode, the enabling switch will be bypassed so that the robot can run
automatically without manual intervention.
DANGER
In Automatic mode, the robot moves at the speed set in the program, which is up to 2
m/s for the end effector. In this mode, personnel must not enter the working space of
the robot to avoid personal injury.
2.5.4.2
Enabling external safety signals
External safety devices such as the safety gate and safety grating will be enabled in Automatic
mode. Opening the safety gate will trigger an emergency stop.
2.5.4.3
Safe troubleshooting in production
In most cases, the robot is part of the production line. Therefore, the impact of a robot fault
may go beyond the workstation itself. Likewise, problems with other parts of the production
line may also impact the workstation. For this reason, a troubleshooting plan should be
designed by personnel who are familiar with the entire production line to improve safety.
For example, a robot on the production line grabs workpieces from the conveyor belt. When
the robot encounters a fault, the robot maintenance personnel should consider additional
safety measures for working beside the moving conveyor belt to ensure uninterrupted
production while the robot is under repair.
For another example, when removing a welding robot from the production line for routine
maintenance, the robot supplying materials to it must also be stopped to avoid personal
injury.
2.6
Pre-use assessment
The following tests must be conducted before using the robot for the first time or after
making any modifications. Verify that all safety inputs and outputs are correct and properly
connected. Test that all connected safety inputs and outputs are functioning. To do this, you
must:
