2. Press the button “BRAKE RELEASE” of the brake release unit on the XRC door sur-

3. With the button “BRAKE RELEASE” held pressed, press the button of axis for which
the brake is to be released. The brake for the corresponding axis is released as long

injury and damage to the equipment.
• Release the axis brake one by one.
In the case that simultaneous release of brakes of multiple number of axes is necessary,
pay full attention for an unexpected motion of robot. Otherwise, an injury or damage to
the equipment may be resulted.
