Step 1 - Manually moving the robot to the calibration position
This procedure details the first step when updating the revolution counter; manually moving
the robot to the calibration position.
NOTE!
Calibration should be performed by specially trained personell.
Step 2 - Storing the revolution counter setting with the FlexPendant
This procedure details the second step when updating the revolution counter; storing the
revolution counter setting with the FlexPendant (RobotWare 5.0).
Action Note
1. Manually moving the robot to the
calibration position, axis 1-3
Described in section Calibration IRB 360
axis 1-3 on page 175 step 1 to 6.
2. Manually moving the robot to the
calibration position, axis 4
Described in section Calibration IRB 360
axis 4 on page 179 step 1 to 4.
3. when the axis are in the calibration
position move to step 2.
Step 2 - Storing the revolution counter setting
with the FlexPendant on page 182
