What is the impact of a sudden power outage on robots? How to recover the robot zero point?

If a running robot experiences a sudden power outage, it may lose its origin point, but otherwise, it will not be significantly affected.

What is the Zero Point?

The robot zero point is the initial position of the robot's operational model, set at the factory. When the zero point is incorrect, the robot cannot move accurately and needs to be recalibrated.

How to Retrieve the Zero Point:

1. Detect a positional deviation and confirm the loss of the zero point.

2. Manually move the robot to a position close to the original zero point.

3. Reset the multi-turn value to zero and input the originally recorded single-turn value.

4. The zero point is thus retrieved.

When to Retrieve the Zero Point:

1. The internal encoder battery is dead, or the power supply line has been interrupted, causing the driver to alarm due to the loss of the encoder count.

2. The robot exceeds its mechanical limits, such as collapsing.

3. A collision with a workpiece or the environment causes the pulse count to fail in indicating the axis angle.

4. The single-turn and multi-turn values stored in the controller are deleted.

5. Misoperation leads to re-zeroing.

6. Any other situation that may cause the zero point to be lost.
