5.6 Checking the synchronization position
Introduction
Check the synchronization position of the robot before beginning any programming
of the robot system. This may be done:
• Using a
MoveAbsJ
instruction with argument zero on all axes.
• Using the Jogging window on the FlexPendant.
Using a
MoveAbsJ
instruction
Use this procedure to create a program that runs all the robot axes to their
synchronization position.
Note Action
On ABB menu tap Program editor . 1
Create a new program. 2
Use MoveAbsJ in the Motion&Proc menu. 3
Create the following program:
MoveAbsJ [[0,0,0,0,0,0],
[9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9]]

4
Run the program in manual mode. 5
See Synchronization marks and
synchronization position for axes on
page 799
and Updating revolution
counters on page 801 .
Check that the synchronization marks for the axes
align correctly. If they do not, update the revolu-
tion counters. 6
Using the jogging window
Use this procedure to jog the robot to the synchronization position of all axes.
Note Action
On the ABB menu, tap Jogging . 1
Tap Motion mode to select group of axes
to jog.
2
Tap to select the axis to jog, axis 1, 2, or
3. 3
Manually run the robots axes to a position
where the axis position value read on the
FlexPendant, is equal to zero. 4
See Synchronization marks and synchron-
ization position for axes on page 799 and
Updating revolution counters on page 801 .
Check that the synchronization marks for
the axes align correctly. If they do not, up-
date the revolution counters. 5
