What action should be taken when encountering an overtravel error?

When encountering an overtravel error in a FANUC robot, navigating to the OverTravel Release screen is the proper action to take. This screen provides control and options specifically designed for handling overtravel situations. It allows the operator to assess the state of the robot and take appropriate measures to release the overtravel condition safely.

Navigating to this screen is critical because it typically offers options to clear the error or to reposition the robot safely back to within its operational limits. This step ensures that the robot can resume normal operations without risking damage to the equipment or creating unsafe conditions.

Immediate restarting of the robot without addressing the overtravel error can lead to further issues or damage, while contacting maintenance support may not be necessary if the operator is trained to handle the error through the OverTravel Release screen. Ignoring the error is not advisable as it can lead to more severe problems with the robot's operation and safety concerns.
