Manipulator moves unexpectedly. In EPSON RC+, a coordinate point including the arm pose is defined as “point” and its data is called “point data”. There are two methods to move the Manipulator during calibration.
Page 356
C4-B Service Manual Adjustment Disclosure Scope: Maintenance Trained Personnel Only Moving the Manipulator while releasing the electromagnetic brake involves risk as described below. It is recommended to move the Manipulator using Jog & Teach. ⚫ Normally, release the brake of joints one by one. Take extra care if you need to release the brakes of two or more joints simultaneously.
