6.1 Home Position Calibration
6.1.1 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 fol-
lowing cases require this operation to be performed again.
• Change in the combination of the manipulator and NX100
• Replacement of the motor or absolute encoder
• Clearing stored memory (by replacement of NIF01 circuit board, weak battery, etc.)
• Home position deviation caused by hitting the manipulator against a workpiece, etc.
To calibrate the home position, use the axis keys to calibrate the mark for the home position
on each axis so that the manipulator can take its posture for the home position. There are two
operations for home position calibration:
• All the axes can be moved at the same time
• Axes can be moved individually
• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to conducting manip-
ulator teaching. If problems are found, repair them immediately, and be
sure that all other necessary processing has been performed.
- Check for problems in manipulator movement.
- Check for damage to insulation and sheathing of external wires.
• Always return the programming pendant to the hook on the NX100 cabi-
net after use.
The programming pendant can be damaged if it is left in the P-point maximum envelope
of the manipulator, on the floor, or near fixtures.
Teaching and playback are not possible before home position calibration is complete.
In a system with two or more manipulators, the home position of all the manipulators must
be calibrated before starting teaching or playback.
Set the security mode to the management mode to perform home position calibration.
