Deadman Switch
The dead man switch is needed to control the robot in manual mode. It must be held down in order for
the robot to move during manual operation. Release the switch to stop the robot, or press harder to stop
it. The switch has 3 states. Released and strongly pressed are off. Lightly pressed is the only state where
it is on.
Motor Key
Each time the robot is powered up or the mode of operation is changed this switch must be pressed to
manually turn on the motor. If the Deadman switch is released or if the emergency stop is activated, the
motor will shut itself off and need to be restarted.
Mode Selector Switch
This switch changes the mode of operation for the robot, there are
three different settings:
Auto – Allows the robot to run programs saved in the Teach
Pendant or WINCAPS (the Enable Auto Switch on the enclosure
must be "on" for the robot to run in this mode)
Manual – Allows the operator to control the robot manually using
the Arm Transverse Keys (the Enable Auto Switch on the
enclosure must be "off" for the robot to run in this mode)
Teach/Check – Allows the operator to manually run through
programs step-by-step or at a slower speed, the Deadman switch
must be used to operate in this mode (the Enable Auto Switch on
the enclosure must be "off" for the robot to run in this mode).
Arm Transverse Keys
These are the keys the operator uses to manually operate the robot. There are three different motion
modes but most often used is the "Joint" mode where each key performs the following operation:
J1 – Rotates the robot on its base
J2 – Moves the shoulder of the robot arm
J3 – Moves the elbow of the robot arm
J4 – Rotates the wrist of the robot arm
J5 – Moves the head the tool face is attached to
J6 – Rotates the tool face or end effector
