methods is not apply able. Calibration for IRB 360 is detailed in section Calibration IRB 360
axis 1-3 on page 175 .
Type of calibra-
tion
Description Calibration method
Standard
calibration The robot is positioned at calibration position,
that is the axes positions (angles) are set to -
47° for std. (-44.8° for 800) for axis 1-3 and 0°
for axis 4.
Standard calibration data is found in the file
calib.cfg, supplied with the robot at delivery.
The file identifies the correct resolver/motor
position corresponding to the robot home
position.
From deliveries together with RobotWare 5.0.5
and higher, the data will instead be found on
the SMB (serial measurement board) in the
robot, and not in a separate file.
Calibration by hand
with activated brake
release, using the
calibration marks.
