Calibration
Synchronizing the Vision System and the Robot
To calibrate real-world measurements with the vision system’s system of
pixels, perform the following steps:
1. Execute the HOME routine.
2. Open Client Camera.
Check camera to make sure that the picture is adjusted, clear and free
of distortions.
3. Click the Calibration icon.
4. Using SCORBASE, move robot arm into desired position within the
camera’s field of vision.
5. Using a pen or marker, mark a position on a piece of paper (or on the
coordinate grid) close to the robot and strong enough to be seen in the
camera picture. This position should be aligned with the TCP (tool
center position – the exact center of the robot gripper). This first
position is called Pos 1.
6. Click Record Position 1.

7. Along the X-axis only, move the robot to a position on the X-axis
that would be greater (+X) than Pos 1. Take a writing instrument and
mark the position. This second position is called Pos 2.
Click Record Position 2.
