ming 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.
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
the servo power ON.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.
Release of Emergency Stop
• 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.
- 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 persons are present in the P-point maximum envelope of
the manipulator and that you are in a safe location before:
- Turning ON the NX100 power
- 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 dur-
ing operation. Always press an emergency stop button immediately if there are prob-
lems.The emergency stop buttons are located on the right of the front door of the NX100

1Form Cutting Motion
The form cutting motion cuts workpieces according to a pattern with a tool such as a laser
cutting machine handled by a manipulator.
In the form cutting function, there may be some differences between the set design and the
actual cutting motion path, depending on the calibration, ambient temperature, and load
applied to the manipulator.
In order to minimize the above explained differences, be sure to calibrate your tools before
using this function.
