Emergency Shutdown
Your Axiom X-1000 Series Dispensing System features EMO buttons that the operator or service technician
can use to immediately stop all dispensing operations in case of emergency. This feature helps prevent
injury to personnel and damage to the dispensing system and workpieces being processed.
Your dispensing system design includes two EMO buttons. One EMO button is located on the Operator’s
Console, and the second is located on the rear panel of the dispensing system (see Figure 2-3). The
EMO vents all pressure in the pneumatic system, de-energizes the servo power supply capacitors, and cuts
power to all system components except the Computer and Monitor.
"
NOTE If the operator or technician is unable to reach the EMO button, the Main Circuit Breaker
(Figure 3-6) can be used for emergency shutdown, but doing this will also shut down the
Computer.
