Removing a Cartridge from the Hand
If the LSM goes offline because of a power failure, a cartridge might be left in the hand.
If you need the cartridge to complete a job request, you can manually remove it from the
hand and mount it into a drive for a read/write operation.
CAUTION:
Potential equipment damage : Follow the procedures described in
“Moving the Robot” on page 3-12 . Failing to do so could damage the
hand.
Standard Door Procedure
To remove a cartridge from the hand when your LSM has a standard door:
1. Rotate the Z column until the hand is located on the left, top side of the LSM (Panel
0 Column 0).
2. If a cartridge is in the top cell, remove it so you have more room to perform the next
step.
3. Rotate the reach mechanism drive belt until the gripper is extended to its full
position, as shown in Figure 3-15 on page 3-28 .
4. Hold the reach mechanism drive belt with one hand and grasp the cartridge with the
other. Gently pull on the cartridge until it is released from the gripper, as shown in
Figure 3-16 on page 3-29 .
