Term Definition Calibration method A collective term for several methods that might be available for calibrating the ABB robot. Each method contains calibration routines. Synchronization position Known position of the complete robot where the angle of each axis can be checked against visual synchronization marks.
Axis Calibration method Axis Calibration is a standard calibration method for calibration of IRB 6620LX and is the most accurate method for the standard calibration. It is the recommended method in order to achieve proper performance.
Page 301
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.
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. The resolver values will change when parts affecting the calibration position are replaced on the robot, for example motors or parts of the transmission.
5.3 Calibration and configuration of Joint Bound, axis 1 General This section describes how to fine calibrate axis 1 of IRB 6620LX. The calibration procedure differs depending on if the Axis Calibration method is available or not. This section describes both procedures.
Page 313
Use this procedure to configure the Joint Bound system parameters on the FlexPendant. Action Note Switch to manual mode. On the FlexPendant, tap the ABB menu and then tap Control Panel. Tap Configuration. This opens the system parameters configura- tion editor.
FlexPendant. WARNING Calibrating the robot with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools from ABB. Using other pins in the calibration bushings may cause severe damage to the robot and/or personnel. WARNING The calibration tool must be fully inserted into the calibration bushing, until the steel spring ring snaps into place.
Page 321
A benefit with reference calibration is that the current state of the robot is stored and not the state when the robot left the ABB factory. The reference value will be named according to tool name, date etc.
There is no risk for bad calibrations as long as the calibration tool is in one piece. WARNING Calibrating the robot with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools from ABB. Using other pins in the calibration bushings may cause severe damage to the robot and/or personnel. Equipment, etc. Article number...

It is possible to make the calibration tool identifiable with, for example, an RFID chip. The procedure of how to install an RFID chip is described below. Note The tool identifier is NOT delivered from ABB, it is a customized solution. Action Note It is possible to use any RFID solution, with the correct dimensions.
WARNING Calibrating the robot with Axis Calibration requires special calibration tools from ABB. Using other pins in the calibration holes may cause severe damage to the robot and/or personnel. Equipment, etc.
UNBRAKO screws UNBRAKO is a special type of screw recommended by ABB for certain screw joints. It features special surface treatment (Gleitmo as described below) and is extremely resistant to fatigue.
All components exceeding 22 kg (50 lbs) are highlighted in this way. To avoid injury, ABB recommends the use of a lifting accessory when handling components with a weight exceeding 22 kg. A wide range of lifting accessories and devices are available for each manipulator model.
