8.5.1 What is the Work Home Position?
The Work Home Position is a reference point for manipulator operations. It prevents interfer-

precondition for operations such as starting the line. The manipulator can be moved to the set
work home position by operation from the programming pendant, or by signal input from an
external device. When the manipulator is in the vicinity of the work home position, the work
home position signal turns ON.
