Measurement of the Tool Load and the Center of Gravity
To measure the tool load and the center of gravity, move the manipulator to it’s home position
(horizontal to the U-, B- and R-axes) and operate the U-, B- and R-axes.
This function is available for the models listed below. Contact your Yaskawa representa-
tive for information on other models.
