Returning the LSM to Online Status
The following procedures must be performed to place the LSM online and
ready to perform automated operations.
• Making the transports ready
• Securing the LSM
• Placing the LSM online
• Entering cartridges that you removed
Making the Transports Ready
All the transports must be in a READY condition before the LSM access door is
closed and the LSM placed in automated mode.
Check the
READY indicator above the READY switch on the operator panel for
every transport.
• If this indicator is lit, do nothing to the corresponding transport.
• If this indicator is not lit, press the
READY switch until the indicator turns
on.
Securing the LSM
To secure the LSM and make it ready for automated operations:
1. Move the theta assembly back off of the stops to a neutral position.
Figure 3-15 on page 3-23 shows the location of the stops.
This ensures that the robot performs its initialization movements correctly.
2. Close the LSM access door.
a. Open the LAD, insert the key in the lock, and turn the key to the
unlocked position.
b. Pull the latch handle and gently close the door, pushing on both top and
bottom until it clicks shut.
c. Turn the key to the locked position.
d. Remove the key from the lock and close the LAD.
When the LSM is powered on, initialization occurs.
