Then, align the tool center point of the manipulator to point P, and register it as C2. Turn C2 3. Turn the station axis further in the same direction as in step 2. Then, align the tool center point of the manipulator to point P, and register it as C3. Turn C3 2-12

39 2.4 System Setup NOTE To minimize teaching error, attach a tool with a pointed end tool on the station axis as shown in the figure above, and use this pointed end as an arbitrary point (point P) when teaching. When registering C2 and C3, the manipulator tool should keep as much as possible the same orientation as when C1 was registered. The manipulator at teaching should have its -axis at a 90 angle to the ground and its U- axis parallel to the ground. Do not teach with the U axis fully extended or tightly contracted. Otherwise, inaccurate calibration will result. For a station with two rotating axes 1. Determine an arbitrary point (point P) on the turntable. Point P should be as far as possible from the rotation center of the turntable. With the 1st station axis parallel to the ground, align the tool center point of the manipulator to point P, and register it as C1. C1 Point P 2. Turn the 2nd station axis about 30. Align the tool center point of the manipulator to point P, and register it as C2. C2 Turn 2-13

Align the tool center point of the manipulator to point P, and register it as C4. C4 Turn 5. Turn the 1st station axis again for about 30. Align the tool center point of the manipulator to point P, and register it as C5. C5 Turn NOTE To minimize teaching error, attach a tool with a pointed end tool on the station axis as shown in the figure above, and use this pointed end as an arbitrary point (point P) when teaching. When registering the others, the manipulator tool should keep as much as possible the same orientation as when C1 was registered. The manipulator at teaching should have its -axis at a 90 angle to the ground and its U- axis parallel to the ground. Do not teach with the U axis fully extended or tightly contracted. Otherwise, inaccurate calibration will result. For C1, C2, and C3, the position of the 1st station axis should be the same. The position of the 2nd station axis for C4 and C5 should be the same as that for C
