5.4.2 Axis Calibration - Running the calibration procedureRequired toolsThe calibration tools used for Axis Calibration are designed to meet requirementsfor calibration performance and durability.WARNINGCalibrating the robot with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools fromABB. Using other pins in the calibration holes may cause severe damage to therobot and/or personnel.NoteArticle numberEquipment, etc.Includes:• Calibration tool axes 5 and 6• Attachment screws M5x12 qual-ity Steel 8.8-A2F (4 pcs)• Guide pin3HAC037305-001Calibration tool setRequired consumablesNoteArticle numberConsumable-Clean clothSpare partsNoteArticle numberSpare partN/AOverview of the calibration procedure on the FlexPendantThe actual instructions of how to perform the calibration procedure and what todo at each step is given on the FlexPendant. You will be guided through thecalibration procedure, step by step.Use the following list to learn about the calibration procedure before running theRobotWare program on the FlexPendant. It gives you a brief overview of thecalibration procedure sequence.After the calibration method has been called for on the FlexPendant, the followingsequence will be run.1 Choose calibration routine. The routines are described in Routines in thecalibration procedure on page 235.2 Choose which axis/axes to calibrate.3 The robot moves to synchronization position.4 Validate the synchronization marks.5 The robot moves to preparation position.6 Remove the protective cover from the fixed pin and the protection plug fromthe bushing, if any, and install the calibration tool.Axes 1, 2 and 3 are fitted with dampers that need to be removed.Continues on next pageProduct manual - IRB 120 2373HAC035728-001 Revision: N© Copyright 2009-2017 ABB.
