Enabling & Grip Switches
An enabling switch is a 3-position (OFF-ON-OFF) switch to allow a
machine operation only when the switch is lightly pressed and held in
the middle position (position 2). Because it disables machine operation
when released (position 1) or further depressed (position 3) by a
panicked operator, the safety of operators is ensured. Because
operators use pendants in hazardous environments performing teaching,
system changeover, and maintenance of robots, they must have protection
against unpredictable motion of robots, and therefore teaching
pendants are equipped with 3-position enabling switches.
