Fixed robot calibration types
Rough and Fine calibration for 6 axis and scara robots
Summary/Issue Description
There are two types of calibration that can be performed on 6-axis and SCARA robots depending on the application.
Root Cause
Conditions under which a robot needs fine calibration or rough calibration:
Fine Calibration:
The robot needs fine calibration if the application calculates points. Calculating points occurs if the application is, for example, vision-guided motion, tracking a moving belt, or picking and placing on a large pallet.
Rough Calibration:
Rough calibration is sufficient if the application only requires the robot to pick and place in static positions.
Solution
When the robot needs fine calibration, Omron can dispatch an engineer to perform the calibration (faster but more expensive), or customer could ship robot to Omron repair center.
When the robot needs rough calibration, Omron engineers can perform remote calibration for a fee to the customer.
Please note that remote calibration does not always solve the problem, therefore, it is possible that the calibration onsite will be needed either way (depending on the application) causing an additional fee, this action can only be arranged after an Omron engineer determines it.
In addition, it's important to make TeamViewer accessible during calibration.
