NoteAction
Follow the instructions given in the refer-
ence calibration routine on the FlexPendant
to create reference values.
If the robot is to be calibrated with refer-
ence calibration:
Find previous reference values for the axis
or create new reference values. These val-
ues are to be used after the repair proced-
ure is completed, for calibration of the ro-
bot.
Creating new values requires possibility to
move the robot.
Read more about reference calibration for
Axis Calibration in Reference calibration
routine on page 806.If no previous reference values exist, and
no new reference values can be created,
then reference calibration is not possible.
If the robot is to be calibrated with fine
calibration:
Remove all external cable packages
(DressPack) and tools from the robot.
