<p>We have a problem with the robot encoder position. When I move the robot axis, the encoder data is displayed. If I cycle power to the robot, the current position is lost. I have already set the robot to home position before making programming changes. It still can't keep the last data. Can you help solve this problem?</p>

<p>I have a relative job in a Motoman robot that works for a few layers, then faults, as the R axis has decided to move in the other direction, causing the T axis to rotate as well in the wrong direction hitting a software travel limit. I can "unwind" the arm to reach the desired position, and have taught some intermediate positions to try and get around this (this worked to some extent), but am still having the issue. </p> <p>Is there anyway to "force" the robot to maintain it arm orientation? If it has to flip an axis around, should it not know better to flip it back, rather than going into overtravel?</p> <p>Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>What is the fastest way to recover when a robot's encoder positions have been lost? Is there a faster way than to line up all of the reference marks on the joints? This can also be quite inaccurate - is there a more accurate way?</p>
