6.4.4 Axis Calibration - Running the calibration procedure
7 The robot performs a measurement sequence by rotating the axis back and
forth.
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.
Action
Tap the calibration icon and enter the calibration
main page.
All mechanical units connected to the system are
shown with their calibration status.
Tap the mechanical unit in question.
Note
For RobotWare 7, the mechanical unit page is
displayed only if there is more than one mechan-
ical unit available.
The calibration method used at ABB factory for
each axis is shown, as well as calibration method
used for the robot during last field calibration.
Valid for RobotWare 7
Tap Calibration Methods on the right pane and
then tap Calibration. The software will automatic-
ally call for the procedure for the valid calibration
method.
