1.2.3.3. Emergency release of the robot’s arm
Description
In an emergency situation, any of the robot's axes may be released manually by pushing the
brake release buttons on the robot.
How to release the brakes is detailed in section:
•
Manually releasing the brakes on page 45 .
The robot arm may be moved manually on smaller robot models, but larger models may
require using an overhead crane or similar.
Increased injury
Before releasing the brakes, make sure that the weight of the arms does not increase the
pressure on the trapped person, further increasing any injury!
