The emergency stops are located:

• On the wired controller

• On the front of the machine.

The emergency stop must be activated if a hazardous situation arises.

Actuating the emergency stop outside of the hazardous situation can have consequences for parts and tools. Unlike a controlled stop, the emergency stop shuts down the system as quickly as possible, regardless of its state (during machining, etc).

Activating one of the emergency stops leads to:

• Shutdown of the power supply to the power part (pneumatic and electric actuators, motors, etc.)

• Immediate shutdown of all motors (spindle, CNC axes and SCARA)

• • The average stopping time of the axes is almost instantaneous

  • The average spindle stopping time is around 3-6 second

• Deactivation of the servomotors

• Release of the brakes on the axes of the CNC and SCARA part except::

• • Brakes on the Z axis of the CNC part, so as not to allow downward movement of the spindle and tool assembly.

  • Brake of the Z axis on the SCARA, so as not to allow downward movement of the whole arm, potentially equipped with disks, tools, etc.

• Red illumination of the status light

After each activation of the emergency stop, it is necessary to investigate and remedy the causes and potential consequences of the stop.

For example:

• Tool breakage

• Stoppage during cycle (SCARA position out of range)

• ...

Once the causes have been identified and the consequences resolved, it is possible to trigger the emergency stop and reset the system.

To reset the system, click on the blue "Reset" button. It is then possible to reactivate the axes on the CNC (and if necessary reestablish the references) as well as the axes on the SCARA (and if necessary carry out homing)

The emergency stop is not a method of isolating the system energy supplies. Equipment lockout can only be performed using the dedicated devices (pneumatic disconnector and electrical disconnector).
