Preparation prior to calibration
The calibration procedure is described in the FlexPendant while conducting it.
NoteAction
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.
1
Use a clean cloth.Wipe the calibration tool clean.
Note
The calibration method is exact. Dust, dirt or color
flakes will affect the calibration value.
2
If the data is optimized, the calibra-
tion routine Wrist Optimization
must be re-run after standard calib-
ration.
Check if the standard calibration data for axes 4,
5 or 6 are updated with wrist optimization.
This is shown in the calibration overview/summary
window on the FlexPendant.

See Calibrating with Wrist Optimiza-
tion method on page 430.
Starting the calibration procedure
Use this procedure to start the Axis Calibration routine on the FlexPendant.
NoteAction
Tap the calibration icon and enter the calibration
main page.
1
All mechanical units connected to the system are
shown with their calibration status.
2
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 FlexPendant will give all inform-
ation needed to proceed with Axis
Calibration.
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 64
Tap Call Calibration Method. The software will
automatically call for the procedure for the valid
calibration method. If not, tap Call Routine and
then tap Axis calibration.
Valid for RobotWare 75
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.
