  • Page 263: Calibration

    The resolver values are changed If resolver values are changed, the robot must be recalibrated using the calibration methods supplied by ABB. Calibrate the robot carefully with standard calibration, according to information in this manual. If the robot has absolute accuracy calibration, it is also recommended, but not always necessary to calibrate for new absolute accuracy.
  • Page 264: Calibration Methods

    Brief description of calibration methods Calibration Pendulum method Calibration Pendulum is a standard calibration method for calibration of all ABB robots (except IRB 6400R, IRB 640, IRB 1400H, and IRB 4400S). Continues on next page Product manual - IRB 4400 3HAC022032-001 Revision: Q ©...
  • Page 265 Levelmeter calibration - alternative method Levelmeter calibration is referred to as the alternative method for calibration of ABB robots because of the less accurate values obtained during calibration. The method uses the same principles as Calibration Pendulum, but does not have as good of mechanical tolerances to the toolkit parts as the standard method with Calibration Pendulum.
