5.6. Checking the calibration position
General
Check the calibration position before beginning any programming of the robot system. This
may be done:
• Using a MoveAbsJ instruction with argument zero on all axes.
• Using the Jogging window on the teach pendant.
Using a MoveAbsJ instruction on the FlexPendant, IRC5
This section describes how to create a program, which runs all the robot axes to their zero
position.
Using the Jogging window on the FlexPendant, IRC5
This section describes how to jog the robot to all axes zero position.
Action Note
1. On ABB menu tap Program Editor.
2. Create a new program.
3. Use MoveAbsJ in the Motion&Proc menu.
4. Create the following program: MoveAbsJ
[[0,0,0,0,0,0],[9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,
9E9]]\NoEOffs, v1000, z50, Tool0
5. Run the program in manual mode.
6. Check that the calibration marks for the axes align
correctly. If they do not, update the revolution
counters!
The calibration marks are shown in
section Calibration scales and

5. Check that the calibration marks for the
axes align correctly. If they do not, update
the revolution counters!
The calibration marks are shown in section
Calibration scales and correct axis position
on page 376.
How to update the counters is detailed in
