2.1.3. Reset all Faults and move the robot manual nearby his Home Position

To move the robot in a safe way, one deadman switch on the back of the Teach Pendant must be in the safe middle position.

Both deadman switches have 3 positions:

  • Not pressed

  • Safe middle position

  • Fully pressedTry if you can feel the three positions. To be able to reset the error and move the robot, only one of the two deadman switches has to be in the safe middle position. So don’t push too hard or too soft!

2.2. Move the robot to the safe location for transportation

2.2.1. Remove jaws

Remove the jaws from the jawbase to prevent them from causing damage or getting damaged.

2.2.2. Bring tables up

Use the software to bring the servo stacker tables to their highest point.

2.2.3. Move the robot

Move the robot manually using the controller to the position in the example below.

Note Note

Reduce the moving speed when the jawbase approaches the upper table to prevent the jawbase colliding with the table.

Note Note

Place something soft (for example some foam) between the jawbase and the upper table to protect them against damage.

2.3. Optionally: Remove the integrated safety fence

Should this be necessary because of height restrictions on the transporting vehicle, the integrated safety fence can be removed. This is however not mandatory. The Integrated systems are shipped from RoboJob with the safety fence mounted in place.

To remove the safety fence, first unlock the safety door using the locking mechanism on the bottom of the table. You can then open the door and lift it off its hinges. The back panel can be released by unscrewing the bolts connecting it to the door support and the stacker table. The door support can then be removed by unscrewing it from the back off the stacker table.

2.4. Secure the system onto a pallet

Place the system onto a pallet and secure it using the provided mounting brackets holes in the robot base. Place straps through the mounting bracket holes to secure the pallet and RoboJob system onto the transport vehicle. Do NOT strap the system down using straps on the top of the table or only by the pallet itself. Take care to not damage the signalling lamp during shipment.
