Brake Release
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 allows the operator to release the
automatic brakes on the robot in case of an emergency or robot failure. The Brake
Release Control is mounted on the front of the controller cabinet (see Figure 3-1).

Operator Station
The operator station is located on the cell floor and controls the robotic cell with
knobs and pushbuttons. This operator station (see Figure 3-7) includes a NEMA
enclosure on a stand-alone pedestal. Pushbuttons and knobs are used exclusively to
change cell activities. The following paragraphs describe the operator station
controls.
WARNING!
The operation of the CYCLE START palm button is dependent on the
structure of the Master job. Altering the Master job could result in
injury to personnel or damage to the equipment.
CYCLE START
The green CYCLE START button, located on the operator station, initiates a
positioner sweep cycle if the robots are in the Safe or Home position (Cube 23 and
Cube 24). If the CYCLE START button is pressed while the robot is outside Cube
23 and Cube 24, the CYCLE START command is latched. Once the robots return
to Home position and Output #9 is on, the CYCLE START command is executed
and the positioner sweeps. A pulse instruction prevents the operator from holding
the button down and continuously cycling the positioner.
