3) Use the Jog keys to move the robot arm tip to teach point 1. (Position it accurately.)
4) Press the key, and the current position is then obtained as “1st P”.
(This value becomes the shift coordinate origin.)

5) Determine teach point 2 with the same procedure as for teach point 1.
6) Select the plus/minus direction of teach point 1 towards point 2 by using the
F 1
(+X),
F 2
(-X),
F 3
(+Y) or
F 4
(-Y) key.

7) When the coordinate direction is selected, the shift coordinate values (dX, dY, dZ,
dR) are automatically calculated and stored.
The screen then returns to “MANUAL>SHIFT” mode.
Valid keys and submenu descriptions in “MANUAL>SHIFT>METHOD1” mode are

WARNING
The robot starts to move when a
Jog key is pressed. To avoid
danger, do not enter the robot
movement range.
n
NOTE
Perform teaching carefully to obtain
accurate teach points. If teach point is
inaccurate, precise shift coordinates
will not be set.
n
NOTE
The Z-direction shift value is
automatically obtained when teach
point 1 is determined. The Z-axis data
at teach point 2 is therefore ignored.
