may be done:
• Using a
MoveAbsJ instruction with argument zero on all axes.
• Using the Jogging window on the FlexPendant.
Using a MoveAbsJ instruction on the FlexPendant, IRC5
Use this procedure to create a program that runs all the robot axes to their zero position.
Using the Jogging window on the FlexPendant
This section describes how to jog the robot to all axes zero position.
