…procedures for improving a robot's accuracy. Robot calibration requires precision laser systems to calibrate the robotic mechanism itself. Tool center point (TCP) calibration is a simpler procedure to ensure the programming system has an accurate model of the robot's tool. The typical way of calibrating a robot tool center point (TCP) is by a four-point method, which consist of taking a series of at least for four joint readings when moving the tool to the same point with different orientations. This process is time consuming and less accurate as the user needs to move the robot in different position manually.…

…them smaller.” Feedback devices have also improved in size, precision, and quality. “With higher-resolution encoders, we not only see better accuracies, but tuning can also be improved to help with accuracy and cycle time when applied to the applications,” said Dieck. “This opens the door for higher-precision robotics applications, and it improves repeatability and the throughput of the robot and automation.” Furthermore, smaller motors with better torque-to-weight ratios allow motors to achieve high peak speeds for a short time, as well as faster acceleration and deceleration times. This allows robots to have a reduced mass, which in turn permits more…
