Brief description of calibration methods Axis Calibration method Axis Calibration is a standard calibration method for calibration of IRB 390 and is the most accurate method for the standard calibration. It is the recommended method in order to achieve proper performance.
The resolver values are changed If resolver values are changed, the robot must be re-calibrated 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.
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 306
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.
