Home Position Calibration
Home position calibration is an operation in which the home position and
absolute encoder position coincide. Although this operation is performed
prior to shipment at the factory, the following cases require this operation
to be performed again.
• Change in the combination of the manipulator and DX100
• Replacement of the motor or absolute encoder
• Clearing stored memory (by replacement of NIF01 circuit board,
weak battery, etc.)
• Home position deviation caused by hitting the manipulator against a
workpiece, etc.
CAUTION
•
Perform the following inspection procedures prior to
conducting manipulator teaching. If problems are found, repair
them immediately, and be sure that all other necessary
processing has been performed.
– Check for problems in manipulator movement.
– Check for damage to insulation and sheathing of external
wires.
– Always return the programming pendant to the hook on the
DX100 cabinet after use.
The programming pendant can be damaged if it is left in the P-point
maximum envelope of the manipulator, on the floor, or near fixtures.
NOTE
Teaching and playback are not possible before home posi-
tion calibration is complete.
In a system with two or more manipulators, the home posi-
tion of all the manipulators must be calibrated before start-
ing teaching or playback.
Set the security mode to the management mode to perform
home position calibration.
