In industrial robotics, Soft Limits are software-defined boundaries that restrict a robot’s movement within a safe operating range. This feature is essential to prevent accidental collisions with fixtures, jigs, or surrounding equipment.

For example, even if a robot is physically capable of reaching a certain point, the controller will block any motion that exceeds the soft limit settings—ensuring safety and system integrity.

However, there are situations during maintenance, troubleshooting, or soft limit calibration where disabling this function becomes necessary.

⚠️ Important Note: Disabling the soft limit removes safety protections and should only be performed by trained personnel. Operators must proceed with caution, be fully aware of the surrounding environment, and understand the potential system behavior and risks involved.

This function is powerful—but with great power comes great responsibility.
At JSR Automation, our team handles such procedures carefully, ensuring both flexibility and safety in robotic integration.
