7.1 Home Position Calibration
7.1.1 Home Position Calibration
Home position calibration is an operation in which the home position and
absolute encoder position coincide. Although this operation is performed
prior to shipment at the factory, the following cases require this operation
to be performed again.
• Change in the combination of the manipulator and FS100
• Replacement of the motor or absolute encoder
• Clearing stored memory (by replacement of main CPU board, weak
battery, etc.)
• Home position deviation caused by hitting the manipulator against a
workpiece, etc.
• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to conducting
manipulator teaching. If problems are found, repare them
immediaterly, and be sure that all other necessary processing has
been performed.
– Check for problems in manipulator movement.
– Check for damage to the insulation and sheathing of external
wires.
• Return the programming pendant to a safe place after use.
If the programming pendant is inadvertently left on the manipulator,
on a fixture, or on the floor, the manipulator or a tool may collide with
the programming pendant during manipulator movement, which may
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Teaching and playback are not possible before home posi-
tion calibration is complete.
In a system with two or more manipulators, the home posi-
tion of all the manipulators must be calibrated before start-
ing teaching or playback.
Set the security mode to the management mode to perform
home position calibration.
