Fanuc: Recovering from a collision

If your robot collides and remains in contact with an object, perform a special sequence of commands to jog the robot away with the FANUC pendant.

Turn the FANUC pendant ON. Switch the FANUC controller to T1.

FANUC_TP_on

Press and hold the FANUC pendant enabling switch (aka "deadman switch") in the middle position.

 

Press the COORD button until TOOL is displayed at the top of the screen. This indicates that you are in the tool coordinate system.

While still holding the SHIFT button, use the jog keys on the robot to move the robot away from the collision. 

You may need to repeat this step a couple of times for the robot to fully move.
