(1)Function

Servo locks can be released for axes as desired when the guide movement mode is set to free. Axes in the servo free (i.e., unlocked) state can be moved freely by hand. This is convenient when moving the robot near workpieces and other such objects.

The guide keys will only work while at least one of the deadman switches (on the back of the teach pendant) is pushed down.

If you move the robot by hand in the servo free state, other joints may move as well due to axial interference.
