2.3 Setting 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. This step must also be carried out if the combination of robot and controller being used is changed.
There are several methods for setting the origin, but the origin data input method will be explained here. Refer to "5.5 Resetting the origin" on page 53 for the other methods.
The teaching pendant is required for this operation.
[Caution] If the origin data at shipment is erased due to out of battery, it is necessary to set the origin again. Refer to "5.5 Resetting the origin" on page 53 and reset the origin using the jig method or ABS origin method.
