3.4.1 Adjusting the working range
Reasons for adjusting the manipulator working range
The working range of each manipulator axis is configured in the software. If there
is a risk that the manipulator may collide with other objects at installation site, its
working space should be limited. The manipulator must always be able to move
freely within its entire working space.
Working range configurations
The parameter values for the axes working range can be altered within the allowed
working range and according to available options for the robot, either to limit or to
extend a default working range. Allowed working ranges and available options for
each manipulator axis are specified in
Mechanical stops on the manipulator
Mechanical stops are and can be installed on the manipulator as limiting devices
to ensure that the manipulator axis does not exceed the working range values set
in the software parameters.

Note
The mechanical stops are only installed as safety precaution to physically stop
the robot from exceeding the working range set. A collision with a mechanical
stop always requires actions for repair and troubleshooting.
