the most accurate method for the standard calibration. It is the recommended
method in order to achieve proper performance.
The following routines are available for the Axis Calibration method:
The calibration equipment for Axis Calibration is delivered as a toolkit.
An introduction to the calibration method is given in this manual, see
with Axis Calibration method on page

Description
The calibrated robot is positioned at calibration
position.
Standard calibration data is found on the SMB
(serial measurement board) or EIB in the robot.
For robots with RobotWare 5.04 or older, the
calibration data is delivered in a file, calib.cfg,
supplied with the robot at delivery. The file
identifies the correct resolver/motor position
corresponding to the robot home position.
