A reset should never start a Machine! Safety concerns

Hello, if you stop a machine center you can start the process again by hitting start or reset. According to general safety machine guidlines a machine should never start by just hitting reset. An explicit start command is needed.

Good point. I also noticed that, after an Emergency Stop and Reset, the robot will still load the part into the CNC machine but the machine will just send the part back without machining.

I agree.
Also, no tag is connected to emergency stop and I believe that it’s not possible to edit anything on the cabinet.
