Setup & Operation 3. Environments and Installation

VT Rev.1

3.9 Checking the Basic Orientation

After parts have been replaced (motors, reduction gear units, belts, etc.), the Manipulator

cannot operate properly because a gap exists between the origin positions stored in each

motor and these stored in the Controller. The process to compensate the position gap is

called “Calibration”.

At the time of shipment, the basic orientation of the Manipulator shown below is set as the

origin position.

After installing the Manipulator and setup the operating environment, move the

Manipulator to the origin position and check if it moves to the basic orientation properly.

To make the Manipulator move to the origin position, select [Tools]-[Robot Manager] -

[Control Panel] and click <Home>.

If the gap still exists and the Manipulator cannot be in the basic orientation after the

calibration, please contact us.
