5 Calibration
5.4.1 Description of Axis Calibration
Continued
Position of robot axes
The robot axes should be positioned close to 0 degrees before commencing the
calibration program. The axis chosen for calibration is then automatically run by
the calibration program to its exact calibration position during the calibration
procedure.
It is possible to position some of the other axes in positions different from 0 degrees.
Information about which axes are allowed to be jogged is given on the FlexPendant.
These axes are marked with Unrestricted in the FlexPendant window. Also the
following table shows the dependencies between the axes.

How to calibrate a suspended robot
The IRB 4600 is fine calibrated floor standing in factory, prior to shipping.
To calibrate a suspended robot, reference calibration must be used. Reference
values for a suspended robot must be created with the robot mounted at its working
position, not standing on a floor.
To calibrate a suspended robot with the fine calibration routine, the robot must
first be taken down and then be mounted standing on the floor.
