Setup & Operation 1. Safety
1.4 Emergency Stop
If the Manipulator moves abnormally during operation, immediately press the Emergency
Stop switch. Stops the power supply to the motor, and the arm stops in the shortest
distance with the dynamic brake and mechanical brake.
However, avoid pressing the Emergency Stop switch unnecessarily while the Manipulator
is running normally. Otherwise, the Manipulator may hit the peripheral equipment since
the operating trajectory while the robot system stops is different from that in normal
operation.
To place the system in emergency mode during normal operation, press the Emergency
Stop switch when the Manipulator is not moving.
Refer to the Controller manual for instructions on how to wire the Emergency Stop switch
circuit.

The operating Manipulator cannot stop immediately after the Emergency Stop switch is
