The Industrial Robotics Object Calibration System is designed to use a six-axis industrial robot to calibrate a work object autonomously and efficiently. In addition to the industrial robot, the calibration system consists of one processing module and two measurement tools. The two tools are for calibrating the robots’ tool center point coordinates and work object coordinates, respectively. If an object is either placed on a processing stand or mounted on the robot arm, its real coordinates can have slight offsets relative to the coordinates defined in off-line programming. This system provides an efficient calibration solution that can achieve TCP calibration in 30 seconds and work object calibration in 10 seconds. The precision of the calibration results is better than 0.2 millimeters.
