With conveyor calibration, the tip of the robot is moved to the fiducial marks arranged on the conveyer.
Fiducial marks should be prepared so that the position in relation to the robot tip can be confirmed easily.
For the robot tip, use items that can be easily recognized (robot tool tip or jig with distinct tip, etc.) when
confirming the position in relation to the fiducial marks.
Working area
■
With conveyor calibration, the robot tracking area is set as the working area on the conveyor.
The working area is set by specifying the upstream and downstream position depending on the fiducial mark position on
the conveyor.
Since the robot tip is used to specify the upstream and downstream position, make sure that the working area is within
the robot tracking area.
