Users can now lower the torque limits of individual joints. This is set as a percentage of the maximum possible torque available to each joint. This feature comes with configurable events as per the application’s requirements. This feature is very useful when working with sensitive components. Although the robot can now be made to stop with light contact, this feature was not designed for collaborative applications.

![MCS500 SCARA Safety Integration with ReeR Mosaic Controller | Mecademic
Discover how to safely integrate and operate the MCS500 4-axis industrial SCARA robot using ReeRs safety solutions, including the Mosaic programmable safety controller, safety light curtains, and door interlocks!
Learn how safety stops, automatic restarts, and reduced-speed manual mode operation with a 3-position enabling switch (dead man switch) protect operators without compromising productivity.
⚙️ Safety Operating Modes & Features:
• Auto Mode (High Speed): Emergency stop triggers immediate halts; door interlocks trigger safety stops; light curtains pause motion with automatic clearance restarts
• Manual Mode (Reduced Speed): Operator interaction enabled via a 3-position dead man switch; door and light curtain bypass while switch is held
• Immediate Safety Intervention: Releasing or hard-pressing the dead man switch triggers instant safety stops
• ReeR Safety Hardware: Integrated with ReeR Mosaic programmable safety controller and safety sensors
