6.0.6 Checking the calibration position
General
Check the calibration position before beginning any programming of the robot system. This
may be done in one of two ways:
Using a

• Using a MoveAbsJ instruction with argument zero on all axes.
• Using the Jogging window on the teach pendant.
Action
On ABB menu tap Program Editor.
Create a new program.
Use MoveAbsJ in the Motion&Proc menu.
Create the following program: MoveAbsJ
[[0,0,0,0,0,0],[9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E

Run the program in manual mode.
Check that the calibration marks for the axes align
correctly. If they do not, update the revolution
counters!
Action
Tap Jogging in the ABB menu.
Tap Motion mode to choose group of axes to jog.
Tap axes 1-3 to jog axes 1, 2 or 3.
Manually run the robots axes to a position where the axis
position value read on the FlexPendant, is equal to zero.
Check that the calibration marks for the axes align cor-
rectly. If they do not, update the revolution counters!
