The Emergency Stop or E-stop is the red push-button located on the Teach Pendant.
Press the emergency stop push-button to stop all robot motion. Activating the emergency stop push-button causes a stop category one (IEC 60204-1).
Emergency stops are not safeguards (ISO 12100).
Do not use the emergency stop for routine stopping or as a substitute for normal shutdown or power-off procedures.
Emergency stops are complementary protective measures that do not prevent injury. The risk assessment of the robot application determines if additional emergency stop push-buttons are required.
The emergency stop function and the actuating device must comply with ISO 13850.
After an emergency stop is actuated, the push-button latches in that setting.
As such, each time an emergency stop is activated, it must be manually reset at the push-button that initiated the stop.
Before resetting the emergency stop push-button, you must visually identify and assess the reason the E-stop was first activated.
Visual assessment of all the equipment in the application is required.
Once the problem is solved, reset the emergency stop push-button.
To reset the emergency stop push-button
-
Hold the push-button and twist clockwise until the latching disengages.
You should feel when the latching is disengaged, indicating the push-button is reset.
-
Verify the situation and whether to reset the emergency stop.
-
After resetting the emergency stop, restore power to the robot and resume operation.
