5.5 Resetting the origin

The origin is set so that the robot can be used with a high accuracy. After purchasing the robot, always carry out this step before starting work. The origin must be reset if the combination of robot and controller being used is changed or if the motor is changed causing an encoder area. The types of origin setting methods are shown in Table 5-8.

[Caution] If the old battery is replaced because it has been used up, it is necessary to set the origin again.Reset the origin using the jig method or ABS origin method.
