Calibration Movement Directions For All Axes - ABB IRB 140 Product Manual

5.4 Calibration movement directions for all axes

Overview
When calibrating, the axis must consistently be run towards the calibration position
in the same direction in order to avoid position errors caused by backlash in gears
and so on. Positive directions are shown in the graphic below.
This is normally handled by the robot calibration software.

Note! The graphic shows an IRB 7600. The positive direction is the same for all
6-axis robots, except the positive direction of axis 3 for IRB 6400R, which is in the
opposite direction!
