Emergency stop

When you press an Emergency stop button on the robot, the robot enters Emergency stop—see Types of stop.

CAUTION

Emergency stop buttons are not designed for frequent use. If a button has been used too many times, it may fail to stop the robot in an emergency situation, and nearby personnel may be injured by a collision with moving parts.

Only press Emergency stop buttons in emergencies.
Check that all Emergency stop buttons are fully functional—see Maintenance and handling.
Use the robot interface to stop the robot in non-emergency situations.
