J6 axis of rotation is aligned with the Z axis of Base frame.
•
To set the home position for J6 axis, move the J6 axis so that the X axis of
EOA is aligned with the top link (L1) of the arm (J1), that is, X axis of Base
frame.
•
+J6 is measured clock wise around the +Z axis at the Base frame.
The following illustration shows the rotation of the axis and its directions for J6
axis.

Use these steps to calibrate a Delta J1J2J3J6 robot.
To calibrate a Delta J1J2J3J6 robot:
1.
Obtain the angle values from the robot manufacturer for J1, J2, J3, and J6 at
the calibration position. Use these values to establish the reference position.
2.
Refer to manufacturer’s datasheet to determine if the associated sized motor
contains an internal or external gearbox from the motor to actuation at the
links or Joints to move the robot.
3.
On the
Scaling
tab in the
Axis Properties
dialog box, in the
Transmission
Ration I/O
box, set the gear ratio for each axis.
4.
In the
Scaling
box, enter the scaling to apply to each axis (J1, J2, and J3)
such that one revolution around the Link1 (load rev) equals 360 .
