Mechanical Manual for GBT-S20A Series Robots 7 Zero calibration method 7.1 Summary Zero calibration is an operation associating the angle of each robot joint with the pulse count. The zero calibration operation is to obtain the pulse count corresponding to the zero position.
Page 41
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S20A Series Robots 7.2 General calibration method Select one or several axes and record their current readings as new zero data in the parameter file of the robot's Flash. The recording objects include main axis and additional axes of the robot (if any).
Page 42
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S20A Series Robots The steps for general calibration method are as follows: 1.The SCARA robot aligns the zero-point reference marks of each axis(referring Fig.7.8 and Fig.7.9) 2.Successively click "Menu Button" → "System" → "Basic Setting" → "Zero-point Setting" to enter the screen as shown in Fig.

Page 45
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S20A Series Robots 7.3 Zero encoded data direct write As for the direct writing of zero calibration data, the zero calibration data can be directly entered into the system variables. This operation is used in the situations where zero calibration data is lost while pulse data is still maintained.
Page 46
Mechanical Manual for GBT-S20A Series Robots 7.4 Confirmation of zero calibration results Confirm whether the zero calibration is carried out normally: Usually, it is required to determine whether the zero calibration has been completed normally and check whether the current position display is consistent with the actual position of the robot by the following method.

Mechanical Manual for GBT-S20A Series Robots 8 Resolution of common faults A fault in the mechanism is sometimes caused by multiple different causes together. So, it is often difficult to thoroughly investigate them. In addition, incorrect measures (if taken) may actually lead to further deterioration of the fault. Therefore, it is important to analyze the fault in detail and clarify its true cause.
