Where is the E-Stop located on the FS100 system?

The E-Stop, or emergency stop button, on the FS100 system is designed to provide a quick means of shutting down the robot operations to ensure safety in case of an emergency. The teach pendant is typically where critical operational controls are located, including the E-Stop, allowing the operator to access it easily during programming or operation of the robot.

The teach pendant is a handheld device that allows users to control the robot's movements and programming, so placing the E-Stop there ensures that the operator can react quickly if something goes wrong during operation. This enhances safety by positioning the emergency stop within reach of the operator who is likely to be monitoring the robot's activities closely.

In contrast, while the main control panel, the robot arm, and other locations such as the floor near the controller may have their functions and controls, they are not typically designated for the E-Stop in the FS100 system. This specific design choice helps streamline safety protocol and promote efficient response in urgent situations, emphasizing the importance of accessibility in emergency features.
