Zero calibration should be integrated into the program routine. This will compensate for the tool weight (for its
current orientation), the effect of the attachment mechanisms on the Sensor and any other factors which could affect
the readings. It is recommended to add this instruction when the robot is not applying force on its environment and
when the tool is in the same orientation as when the readings will be used (for example at the beginning of the
program or just before picking up an object or applying force).
If there is any
damage to the Sensor, contact Robotiq support.
