ZERO CALIBRATION Zero calibration refers to the operation of correlating the angle of each robot joint with the pulse count value. The purpose of the calibration is to obtain the pulse count value corresponding to the zero position. "Zero Calibration" is done before leaving the factory. It is not necessary to calibrate in daily operation. However, a calibration operation is required in the following cases.
41561 54267 12273 ZERO CALIBRATION 89299 7081 52662 Fig 6.1 Quick zero calibration single turn value information MECHANICAL ZERO CALIBRATION 6.3. Mechanical disassembly or maintenance may cause zero position data lost. Mechanical zero position calibration is performed with all axes jogged to zero-position using their respective witness marks.
ZERO CALIBRATION Zero calibration for J1-axis 6.3.1. The zero calibration of the equipment is mainly to calibrate the joint score line and the middle score line of the zero mark patch by visual inspection. Now take J1 axis as an example to calibrate the zero point of this joint: adjust the robot to align the scale line indicated in the figure.
