2.7.4 Programming Pendant’s Enable Switch
The Enable switch is a three-position switch located on the left rear of the
Programming Pendant (see
). It is a safety feature that controls
servo power while the system is in Teach mode. When pressed in, this
switch allows the operator to turn servo power ON. However, if the
operator releases the switch or grasps it too tightly, servo power is
immediately removed, thus preventing further robot movement. For
detailed information about the operation of the Enable switch, refer to the
Operator’s Manual
included with your EcoTrim ET-1024 System
(see
).
2.7.5 Emergency Braking System
The MH24 manipulator incorporates a series of brakes that are designed
to protect the robot and other system components from damage in the
event of a software or hardware robot control failure. Upon activation, the
brake system stops all robot motion. The brake system incorporates a
feature that allows the operator to release the brake of a specific robot
axis when drive power has been removed from the system. Use the
Programming Pendant to access the brake release function. Refer to
for brake release procedures.
2.7.6 Interlocked Work-cell Doors
A dual-redundant safety interlock is installed on each work-cell access
door. If either one of the work-cell doors is opened while the robot is in
PLAY mode, the robot emergency braking system activates, all servo
power is removed from the system, and all positioner motion stops.
