6.7 Home Position Calibration
The Home Position of a Robot is the position where all axes are “0”
degrees. Home Position Calibration is the operation where the Home
Position and Absolute Encoder Position coincide. Although this operation
is performed prior to shipment at the factory, it must be repeated if:
– Home Position encoder deviation (e.g. caused by a crash with the
Robot's surroundings)
– Stored memory is wiped (e.g. weak battery, etc.)
– Replacement of a Manipulator motor or absolute encoder
– A change in the combination of a Manipulator and its YRC Controller
The Home Position is commonly used for a 6-axis vertically articulated
Robot is shown in fig. 6-27.

The Home Position differs depending on Manipulator
model. Refer to the INSTRUCTIONS that corresponds to
the specific Manipulator model.
