6 Zero Calibration 6 Zero Calibration 6.1 Introduction 6.1.1 Overview This section describes the zero calibration. Use the calibration tools described in this section during calibration. 6.1.2 What is a mechanical zero? The robot is pre-defined with an initial orientation during its design, in which the angle of each joint is zero (see Figure 30for details.) From a mechanical viewpoint, the zero orientation is the orientation where a certain angle is formed between adjacent links.
6 Zero Calibration 6.2.2 Mechanical calibration Figure 29 Mechanical calibration The interface of mechanical calibration is shown in Figure 29. See the table below for detailed calibration procedures: Operation Description Log in to the system using an Zero calibration can only be performed in admin-level or above user manual mode with no program running.
6 Zero Calibration 6.3 Zero check The robot has completed zero calibration when it is delivered. The zero pose of the robot is shown in Figure 30. In order to ensure the accuracy of the zero point of the robot, it is recommended to check the zero point after the first startup or recalibration (the robot can be moved to the zero point using the Teach Pendant shortcut button, as shown in Figure 30) to ensure the robot moves to the correct zero point.
