Moving the Robot
After you open the LSM door, you might need to move the robot to make it easier
to access the stored cartridges or the drives.
CAUTION:
To prevent damaging the hand or Z carriage, make sure that the reach
mechanism on the hand is fully retracted before moving any part of
the robot. Turn the hand pulley (refer to Figure 3–8) to retract the
reach mechanism. If the LSM goes offline due to a power failure, the
reach mechanism might be extended into a storage cell or drive. If
the robot is rotated when this condition exists, the hand will be
damaged.
Move the Z column and Z carriage only as shown in Figure 3–4 and
Figure 3–5.
Do not touch exposed electrical parts when moving any part of the
robot.
Raising and Lowering the Z Carriage
If you need to raise or lower the hand, slowly and carefully move it by placing your
hand on the Z carriage as shown in Figure 3–4.
