4 Calibration

4.1 Introduction

General
This chapter includes information about when the robot system must be recalibrated.
There are two types of calibration, to update the revolution counters or to do a fine
calibration.
When to update the revolution counters
If the revolution counter memory is lost, the counters must be updated. This will
occur when:
The revolution counters must also be updated after the robot and controller are
connected at the first installation.
To update the revolution counters is a simple procedure which can be performed
by the operator, see
When to do a fine calibration
The system must be fine calibrated when parts affecting the calibration position
are replaced on the robot, for example motors or parts of the transmission.
A fine calibration should only be performed by a qualified service engineer. For
more information see section Calibration in Product manual - Product.ProductName.
