Interrupt bars

< Previous | List | Next >

SmartBench’s Upper X Beam has two Interrupt bars, which are designed to auto-detect obstacles in SmartBench’s workspace. 

When the Interrupt bars make contact with an obstacle, they will be depressed, and SmartBench will stop and pause all active jobs or operations. 

Interrupt bars should not be used as an emergency stop device.

SmartBench will decelerate in a controlled way after the Interrupt bars have made contact with an obstacle, or have been pressed. 

This means that SmartBench will travel past the point of impact. 

When SmartBench is travelling faster, it will travel further before it comes to a full stop.

 

A: Interrupt bars

After SmartBench has been paused by an Interrupt bar event, the operator will have the option to cancel or resume the job.

If you need to pause SmartBench during a job, do not use the Interrupt bars. Instead, use the pause button on the Console.
