Calibration - ABB MU 80 Product Manual

5 Calibration

When to calibrate
Mechanical units must be calibrated after installation, if parts of the transmission
are replaced, or if the resolver memory is lost.
Fine calibration defines the calibration zero position and updates the revolution
counters.
Robot calibration is described in Operating manual - IRC5 with FlexPendant, and
in the product manual for the robot.
Commutation of motors is described in Application manual - Additional axes and
stand alone controller.
Coordinated positioners and user frames are described in Application
manual - Additional axes and stand alone controller.
Calibration position
Any position can be defined as the calibration zero position but it must be possible
to move the axis to this position with good precision repeatedly. For example, this
can be a mechanical stop or another indicator that clearly shows the position.
