At times you may want or need to restart or power off your robot. Whether to apply a software update, to conserve power when the robot is not in use, or to pack the robot for shipping. Or, you may want at the start of a shift to power on a robot that's been powered off for the night.

In this article, you'll learn:

Power On

On the teach pendant, press the Power Button then wait.

Power Off

On the teach pendant, press the Power Button then tap Power off.

This safely powers down the robot and applies brakes to the arm joints.

Restart

On the teach pendant, press the Power Button then tap Restart.

This powers off then automatically powers on the robot.
