WARNING
• Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned
OFF pressing the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the
DX200 and the programming pendant.
When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the
programming pendant is turned OFF.
Injury or damage to machinery may result if the emergency stop circuit
cannot stop the manipulator during an emergency. The manipulator
should not be used if the emergency stop buttons do not function.
Figure 1: Emergency Stop Button
• Once the emergency stop button is released, clear the cell of all
items which could interfere with the operation of the manipulator.
Then turn ON the servo power.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.
Figure 2: Release of Emergency Stop
TURN
• Observe the following precautions when performing teaching
operations within the P-point maximum envelope of the
manipulator:
– View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.
– Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.
– Keep in mind the emergency response measures against the
manipulator’s unexpected motion toward you.
– Ensure that you have a safe place to retreat in case of
emergency.
Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.
• Confirm that no person is present in the P-point maximum envelope
of the manipulator and that you are in a safe location before:
– Turning ON the power of DX200.
– Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant.
– Running the system in the check mode.
– Performing automatic operations.
Injury may result if anyone enters the P-point maximum envelope of the
manipulator during operation. Always press an emergency stop button

1.2 Outline of Twin Gun Function
In the DX200, a twin gun is treated as a station with one axis, and the
station is configured with two guns.
Use an S-axis key to perform JOG operation, etc. since the twin gun is a
station with one axis.
For MOVE instructions, register the instructions in the same manner as a
station with one axis.
When applying pressure, select either gun of the twin gun, that applies
pressure.
The following show an example of use of the twin gun function in the
system with one manipulator and one twin gun.

2.1 Home Position Calibration for Twin Gun
For setting of home position of a twin gun, move the twin gun in the
direction of "S -(minus)" as shown in the figure below by JOG operation,
and set the position, where one tip is aligned with another tip, as home
position.
SUPPLE-

Home position can also be set to a desired position.
If there are means such as an alignment mark, etc. to
specify the position of a gun, use the mean and set home
position at this position.
