N6 Rev.2

EPSON

RC+

4-1. Align the calibration marks of the target joint

Set the jog mode to “Joint” in the [Jog & Teach] panel from EPSON RC+ menu -

[Tools] - [Robot Manager], and then move the Manipulator in Jog motion so that the

calibration marks on the target joint match as much as possible.

Refer to “Calibration marks of each joint” for location of the calibration marks.

4-2

Initialize the Encoder.

EPSON

RC+

Execute the command in the [Command Window] from EPSON RC+ menu - [Tools]

according to the joint to adjust as follows.

Joint #1

>Encreset 1

Joint #2

>Encreset 2

Joint #3

>Encreset 3

Joint #4

>Encreset 4

Joint #5

>Encreset 5, 6

Joint #6

>Encreset 6

Restart the Controller.

Select EPSON RC+ menu-[Tools]-[Controller], then click <Reset Controller>.

4-3 Execute the origin point setting

EPSON

RC+

Execute the following command in the [Command Window] to specify the pulse

values to be set as the origin point.

>calpls

J1 pulse, J2 pulse, J3 pulse, J4 pulse, J5 pulse, J6 pulse

* Manipulator will not move.

Specify the pulse values “0” when the Manipulator is aligned to the calibration marks,

or the values recorded at the predetermined reference orientation (where the match

marks are aligned) to the command parameters (pulse values).

If the point data for the reference orientation is “P1”, the command parameters can be

specified as follows

>calpls ppls(P1,1), ppls(P1,2), ppls(P1,3), ppls(P1,4),
ppls(P1,5), ppls(P1,6)

Then, execute the following command in the [Command Window] to set the specified

pulse values to the encoder according to the joint to set the origin point.

Joint #1

>Calib 1

Joint #2

>Calib 2

Joint #3

>Calib 3

Joint #4

>Calib 4

Joint #5

>Calib 5,6

Joint #6

>Calib 6

When the origin of the Joint #5 is calibrated, the Joint #6 will be out of position.

(Due to the structure of the Manipulator, any offset in the position of the Joint #5

affects the Joint #6.)

Calibrate the origin of the Joint #6 together when calibrating the Joint #5.
