6.3 Updating revolution counters
6.3.1 Updating revolution counters on OmniCore robots
Introduction
This section describes how to do a rough calibration of each manipulator axis by
updating the revolution counter for each axis, using the FlexPendant.
Step 1 - Manually running the manipulator to the synchronization position
Use this procedure to manually run the manipulator to the synchronization position.
Note
Action
Select axis-by-axis motion mode.
1
See
Synchronization marks and synchron-
ization position for axes on page 589
Jog the manipulator to align the synchron-
ization marks.

Step 2 - Updating the revolution counter
with the FlexPendant on page 592
When all axes are positioned, update the
revolution counter.

Step 2 - Updating the revolution counter with the FlexPendant
Use this procedure to update the revolution counter with the FlexPendant
(OmniCore).
Action
On the start screen, tap
Calibrate
.
1
The calibration summary page for the mechanical unit is displayed.
In the
Calibration Methods
menu, select

CAUTION
If a revolution counter is incorrectly updated, it will cause incorrect manipulator posi-
tioning, which in turn may cause damage or injury!
Check the synchronization position very carefully after each update. See
