17.2 Calibration Procedure
EPSON RC+ has a wizard for calibration.
This section indicates the calibration using the calibration wizard of EPSON RC+.
The way of calibration for each joint is the same expect for some parts.
The follow the steps below are calibration using Joint #1. Follow the steps below to calibrate
other joints.
When coordinates for the Manipulator working point require calculation, it is important for
Joint #2 to be calibrated accurately. Execute the procedure in “Calibration Using Right /
Left Arm Orientations” to accurately calibrate Joint #2. For details, refer to “17.3
Accurate Calibration of Joint #2”.
You cannot calibrate Joint #4 alone because of the structure of the Manipulator. When
calibrating Joint #4, you must calibrate Joint #3 and #4 at the same time.
If Err9716 or 5016 (Power supply failure of the absolute encoder. Replace the battery.
Check the robot internal wiring) occurs, apply the procedure of “17.4 Reference:
Calibration Procedure Without Using Calibration Wizard - 3. Encoder Initialization” and
then, start the calibration wizard.
The reference point (a point to check the accuracy) needs to be specified for calibration.
