4.4 Verifying the calibration position
Introduction
Verify the calibration position of the robot before beginning any programming of
the robot system. This may be done:
• Using a MoveAbsJ instruction with argument according to calibration position
degrees on all axes.
• Using the Jogging window on the FlexPendant.
Using a MoveAbsJ instruction
Use this procedure to create a program that runs all the robot axes to their
calibration position.
NoteAction
On ABB menu tap Program editor.1
Create a new program.2
Use MoveAbsJ in the Motion&Proc menu.3
Create the following program for the right arm:
MoveAbsJ [[0,-130,30,0,40,0], [-
135,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9]]
\NoEOffs, v1000, fine, tool0;

Create the following program for the left arm:
MoveAbsJ [[0,-130,30,0,40,0],
[135,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9]]
\NoEOffs, v1000, fine, tool0;
Run the program in manual mode.5
See Calibration scale and correct
axis position on page 48 and Updat-
ing revolution counters on page 50.
Verify that the calibration marks for the axes align
correctly. If they do not, then update the revolution
counters.
6
Using the jogging window
Use this procedure to jog the robot to the calibration position for all axes.
NoteAction
On the ABB menu, tap Jogging.1
Tap Motion mode to select group of axes
to jog.
2
Tap to select the axis to jog, axis 1, 2, or
3.
3
Degrees are specified in Exact axis posi-
tions in degrees on page 49.
Manually run the robots axes to a position
where the axis position value read on the
FlexPendant, is equal to the calibration
position degrees.
4
See Calibration scale and correct axis pos-
ition on page 48 and Updating revolution
counters on page 50.
Verify that the calibration marks for the
axes align correctly. If they do not, then
update the revolution counters!
