Installation and operation
4.4 Calibration
4.4.1 Calibrating the track motion
Before the robot system can be used, the resolvers must be calibrated.
Calibrate according to the instructions below.
4.4.2 Calibrating at restart
A robot system that uses a serial measurement system does not need to be calibrated
before a restart, as the robot system automatically monitors the position of the robot
in the working area.
Make sure no one is on the track motion when the carriage moves. Also make sure that the
track motion's cover plates are free from foreign objects; these can otherwise become trapped
between the carriage and the plates.
Action Info/Illustration
1. Calibrate according to the instructions in
the robot's documentation.
2. Check that the carriage stops exactly at
the calibration mark.
3. Save the system parameters according
to the instructions in the robot's
documentation.

The track motion does not need to be calibrated either at restart. The resolvers only need to
be calibrated when commissioning the system.
