LS10-B Manipulator 4. Setting of End Effectors
Brake release switch
- Joint #3 and #4 cannot be moved up/down by hand because the electromagnetic brake
is applied to the joint while power to the robot system is turned OFF.
This prevents the shaft from hitting peripheral equipment in the case that the shaft is
lowered by the weight of the end effector when the power is disconnected during
operation, or when the motor is turned OFF even though the power is turned ON.
To move Joint #3 up/down or rotate Joint #4 while attaching an end effector, turn ON
the Controller and move the joint up/down or rotate the joint while pressing the brake
release switch.
This button switch is a momentary-type; the brake is released only while the button
switch is being pressed
- Be careful of the shaft while the brake release switch is being pressed because the shaft
may be lowered by the weight of the end effector.
Layouts
- When you operate the manipulator with an end effector, the end effector may interfere
with the Manipulator because of the outer diameter of the end effector, the size of the
work piece, or the position of the arms. When designing your system layout, pay
attention to the interference area of the end effector.
