Robot Accuracy Enhancement techniques

    Good Morning all,

    We are currently trying to follow a Robot Accuracy enhancement technique. We have a few questions with some terminology we are not familiar with and were hoping someone could help us.

    It asks us to change the configuration of a point from F to N or N to F. We are not sure what they mean by F and N.

    It also tells us to teach a point where the TCP touches a pointer with J4 and J6 between -180 and 180 degrees (turn numbers all zero) . Not sure what they mean by "turn numbers all zero" when they says to be between 180 and -180 before.

    thanks,

    F = Flip

    N = No Flip

    It refers to whether the flange on the end of the robot arm is facing up or down. If you look at the details of a position stored in a position register it will show the configuration as something like NUT or FUT. The N and F are the flip/no flip.

    So the accuracy enhancement is asking you to check the configuration of the positions you are using.

    I made a video that covers it:
