1.6 Precaution for Operation in Low Power Status
When the power mode is low, the Manipulator will operate at low speed and low torque.
However, comparatively high torque is generated under some circumstances so that the
Manipulator can support its own weight. The maximum torque of each joint in the low
power status is shown in the following table “Max. Joint Torque in Low Power Status”.
Even though the Manipulator is in the low power status, carefully operate the Manipulator
since a comparatively high joint torque may be generated. Be careful not to get hands or
fingers caught during operations. The Manipulator may also collide with peripheral
equipment and it may cause equipment damage to or malfunction of the Manipulator.
