Three-position enabling device

The FlexPendant is always equipped with a three-position enabling device, but
for the IRB 14000 system the enabling device is not used. Therefore the enabling
device is disabled and inactive when the FlexPendant is connected to an IRB
14000 system, but it is enabled and active when connected to another robot.
The three-position enabling device is a manually operated, constant pressure
push-button which, when continuously activated in one position only, allows
potentially hazardous functions but does not initiate them. In any other position,
hazardous functions are stopped safely.
The three-position enabling device is of a specific type where you must press the
push-button only half-way to activate it. In the fully in and fully out positions,
operating the robot is impossible.
To ensure safe use of the jogging device, the following must be implemented:

Waste disposal

replacing components, please dispose of used components properly.

sheath.
Note
Note
• The enabling device must never be rendered inoperational in any way.
• During programming and testing, the enabling device must be released as
soon as there is no need for the robot to move.
• Anyone entering the working space of the robot must always bring the
jogging device with him/her. This is to prevent anyone else from taking
control of the robot without his/her knowledge.
