Interference Cubes
Cubic interference zones prevent interference between multiple manipulators or a
manipulator and peripheral devices. The XRC monitors the robot tool center point
(TCP) during operation. If the TCP enters one of the these software-defined
interference zones, an output is turned on in the XRC. These outputs can be used to
interlock the activity of other manipulators or peripheral devices. The XRC has
eight possible cubes available. These cubes are internally tied to Specified Outputs:
R1 = SOUT #081 - 104
Setup of these cubes is done at the factory prior to shipment. However, should any
of these cubes need redefined or modified due to changes in tooling or system
components, refer to your XRC manipulator for basic interference cube setup.

Brake Release Control
WARNING!
Releasing brakes could cause personal injury or machine damage.
Always support the axis to be released BEFORE you release it.
The Brake Release Control is a safety feature that releases the automatic brakes on
the robot in case of an emergency or robot failure.
