Stop the robot when a person is trapped by the robot or some other similar emergency.

1.

Push the robot out of the way, using approximately 60 N of force.

Important: 

 Applying too much force may damage the arm.

Important: 

 The 

backdriving

 range is +/- 180°.

2.

Make sure nothing is interfering with the robot and that it is safe to proceed,

3.

Clear the fault.

4.

Power the arm.

Stop the robot immediately when a part of the robot begins to vibrate. Contact support at

[email protected].
Stop the robot immediately when a joint on arm suddenly becomes loose. Contact support at

[email protected].
Stop the robot immediately when the arm suddenly loosens from the base. Secure the arm tightly to the

surface.

Warnings

Warning: 

 A warning is a potentially hazardous situation that can cause minor to moderate

injury to workers, might result in serious injury or even death, and can damage the property

significantly. Avoid potentially hazardous situations that are associated with warnings.

The personnel working with Link 6 should always be trained.

Note: 

 Training requirements are determined by the integrator's 

risk analysis

.

Either warm or cool the environment before storing the robot.
Do not store the robot in an environment that is below 0 °C.
Do not store the robot in an environment that is above +65 °C.
Do not power the robot in an environment that is below 0 °C; the robot may malfunction.
Do not power the robot in an environment that is above 40 °C; the robot may malfunction.
Do not use the robot in an environment that is below 0 °C; the robot may malfunction.
Do not use the robot in an environment that is above 40 °C; the robot may malfunction.
Do not touch the robot if the temperature of the environment is above 40 °C. The robot may be hot to the

touch.
Do not use the robot when there are external signs of significant damage on the arm, controller, or the

teach pendant.
Do not use the robot when the I/O panel is open or damaged.
Do not open the controller panel when the controller is in a wet environment.
Do not open the controller panel when the controller is in an EMI-sensitive environment.
Do not use the robot near flames or sources of heat.
Do not use the robot to take objects under water.
Do not use in heavy rain.
