Reset Stations When the Home Position is Reset
If the values for SYNC ZERO are not available, and the home position must be found
again, a quick shortcut can be used to reset the stations for the robot:
WARNING
When equipment is energized, live circuits covered, and work per-
formed remotely, the robot is at a Type 2 hazard category. See
1.
Reset the home position, where Pan A is located 180° opposite the power con-
nector, and record the values for SYNC ZERO.
2.
Record the values for all the stations (R, T, Z, LOWER, SLOTS, PITCH).
3.
Setup station 1 and record the new values for this station. Setup station 1 for
arm “B” also (if applicable).
4.
Compare the change in the values from the old values to the new values. This
change will be most likely be in the T axis, and possibly in the Z axis as well.
5.
Manually set the values for the other stations through the CDM with the same
change found in station 1.
6.
Double check the accuracy of these changes with the other stations and adjust
as necessary.
7.
Store the station values.
