-1 Visually move the calibrating Joint of the
Manipulator to the basic
orientation
Set the jog mode to “Joint” in the [Jog & Teach] panel from EPSON RC+ menu -
[Tools] - [Robot Manager], and then move the
Manipulator in Jog motion so that
the target joint matches the basic orientation as much as possible.
When the Manipulator cannot have the basic orientation, move the
Manipulator so
that the “marks” depending on the predetermined reference orientation are aligned.
