Brief description of calibration methods
Calibration Pendulum method
Calibration Pendulum is a standard calibration method for calibration of many of
ABB robots (except IRB 6400R, IRB 640, IRB 1400H, and IRB 4400S). This
calibration method is not used on OmniCore robots.
Two different routines are available for the Calibration Pendulum method:
•
Calibration Pendulum II
•
Reference calibration
The calibration equipment for Calibration Pendulum is delivered as a complete
toolkit, including the
Operating manual - Calibration Pendulum
, which describes
the method and the different routines further.
Axis Calibration method
Axis Calibration is a standard calibration method for calibration of IRB 6660. It is
the recommended method in order to achieve proper performance.
The following routines are available for the Axis Calibration method:
•
Fine calibration
•
Update revolution counters
•
Reference calibration
The calibration equipment for Axis Calibration is delivered as a toolkit.
The actual instructions of how to perform the calibration procedure and what to
do at each step is given on the FlexPendant. You will be guided through the
calibration procedure, step by step.
Wrist Optimization method
Wrist Optimization is a method for improving reorientation accuracy for continuous
processes like welding and gluing and is a complement to the standard calibration
method.
The actual instructions of how to perform the wrist optimization procedure is given
on the FlexPendant.
CalibWare - Absolute Accuracy calibration
The CalibWare tool guides through the calibration process and calculates new
compensation parameters. This is further detailed in the
Application
manual - CalibWare Field
.
If a service operation is done to a robot with the option Absolute Accuracy, a new
absolute accuracy calibration is required in order to establish full performance.
For most cases after replacements that do not include taking apart the robot
structure, standard calibration is sufficient.
The Absolute Accuracy option varies according to the robot mounting position.
This is printed on the robot name plate for each robot. The robot must be in the
correct mounting position when it is recalibrated for absolute accuracy.
