5.4.4 Axis Calibration - Running the calibration procedure
8 Remove the calibration tool and reinstall the protective cover on the fixed
pin and the protection plug in the bushing, if any.
9 The robot moves to verify that the calibration tool is removed.
10 Choose whether to save the calibration data or not.
Action
DANGER
While conducting the calibration, the robot needs
to be connected to power.
Make sure that the robot's working area is empty,
as the robot can make unpredictable movements.
Wipe the calibration tool clean.
Note
The calibration method is exact. Dust, dirt or color
flakes will affect the calibration value.
Check if the standard calibration data for axes 4
or 5 are updated with wrist optimization.
This is shown in the Calibration Method Overview
window on the FlexPendant.
