CAUTION
The option Extended work range enables an extension of the working range for
axis 1, through a software configuration. With this option installed, the working
range can exceed the range limited by the mechanical stop on axis 1. The working
range shall be limited through the option SafeMove.
A risk analysis must be done to ensure that no risks remain when using option
Extended work range, to limit the working range, and before removing the
mechanical stops.
For information about the option SafeMove, see Application manual - Functional
safety and SafeMove.
If the mechanical stop is removed, then the manipulator should have a marking
for this, for example, a label. If the robot is delivered with the option Extended
work range, then such a label is included on delivery.
Action
Configure the safety setup and verify it by
test.
Hold the mechanical stop pin in a firm grip,
and remove it by unscrewing the attach-
ment screw.
