Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison

I think our machine has a 2.5hp motor running the servo, I don't see how it could do much damage but I'm sure it does. I've never tried to stop it from indexing so I don't know how much force it puts out, it just doesn't seem like it would be much. When you do hit the E stop, it goes into free wheel mode but I wonder if there is a force against it if it will still go as easily into free wheel?

Electric motors on 3 phase create gobs and gobs of torque that has to be controlled with gears and such. Look at our 'hybrid' cars.. the motors in those things are amazing. The new M&R equip, specifically the CH III uses a Fanuc motor and belt drive from the formula's to turn the carousel.. there is no option to freewheel that baby so I'd imagine when you hit estop.. it stops dead in it's tracks. (when rich gets back from the Olympics.. I'd love to hear from him or anyone at the factory to confirm our thoughts)When we talk about safety, think about the stuff we have in cars, all the systems now put in place to prevent accidents.. all they are really doing is taking away the focus of driving and letting us be more comfortable in the car to listen to our ipods and have plenty of places to put our large drink cup from micky d's or starfucks. Cars now will brake for you, let you know when you're driving to close and even park them selves! Who here owns a german car.. like say a porsche or some of the older BMW's or even any European sports car that is meant to be driven, tell me how many cup holders and other attentions sucking gadgets you have at your disposal.. what you do have are all the essential controls to DRIVE the vehicle and things like radio knobs and AC controls (if you even have ac as it sucks HP from the motor that is needed to go faster) are down and to the right, even things like wiper and headlight controls are out of the way and out of eyesite as they know and realize, when you are in control of your vehicle, you are being safe. Same goes for our equipment.. be in control and know where and how things can go wrong and you will be safe.

BTW I won't even talk about being indexed by my machine that had buggy software and decided to reverse index.
The servo system on the Challenger 3 is a Mitsubisi system and when the emergency button is pushed stops immediately . The gear ratio on the planetary gearbox allows for manual rotation when the emergency stop is activated. You can manually push the pallets but it has a lot of drag on it. There will be a new safety system,actually three different types displayed at the SGAI show on the Challenger 3D.
