Checking The Basic Orientation - Epson C8 Series Manipulator Manual

Setup & Operation 3. Environment and Installation

3.7 Checking the Basic orientation

After parts have been replaced (motors, reduction gear units, belts, etc.), the Manipulator
cannot operate properly because a gap exists between the origin positions stored in each
motor and these stored in the Controller. The process to compensate the position gap is
called "Calibration".
At the time of shipment, the basic orientation of the Manipulator shown below is set as the
origin position.
After installing the Manipulator and setup the operating environment, move the Manipulator
to the origin position and check if it moves to the basic position properly.
To make the Manipulator move to the origin position, select [Tool]-[Robot Manager] -
[Control Panel] and click <Home>.
If the gap still exists and the Manipulator cannot be in the basic orientation after the
calibration, please contact the supplier of your region.
