Brief description of calibration methods
Axis Calibration method
Axis Calibration is a standard calibration method for calibration of IRT 710. 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.
An introduction to the calibration method is given in this manual, see
with Axis Calibration method on page 345
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.
Pin calibration method
Pin calibration method is a method based on releasing the motor brakes of the
product and manually moving the carriage into a calibration position. The manual
calibration is using the manual methods for fine calibration and updating revolution
counters.
With the manual calibration method, the product's axes are positioned in specific
calibration positions using calibration tools. Under this condition, the position of
the axis to be calibrated is pre-determined. The axes must be calibrated one at a
time.
