Abstract

A method of evaluating calibration precision includes a setting step of setting a three-dimensional lattice structure including lattice points and a movement instructing step of moving an arm tip of a calibrated robot from a first lattice point to a second lattice point spaced from the first lattice point. The method includes a calculating step of calculating a difference between a movement instruction value given to the robot and an actual distance by which the arm tip of the robot is moved. The method includes a repeat controlling step of repeating the movement instructing step and the calculating step multiple times using a pair of lattice points other than the first and second lattice points and a presenting step of presenting differences obtained by the repeat controlling step.

Claims (10)

1. A method of evaluating calibration precision, the method comprising:

a setting step of setting a three-dimensional lattice structure including a plurality of lattice points;

a movement instructing step of moving an arm tip of a calibrated robot from a first lattice point of the plurality of lattice points to a second lattice point of the plurality of lattice points spaced a certain distance from the first lattice point;

a calculating step of calculating a difference between a movement instruction value given to the robot and an actual distance by which the arm tip of the robot is moved;

a repeat controlling step of repeating the movement instructing step and the calculating step a certain number of times using a pair of the plurality of lattice points other than the first and second points; and

a presenting step of presenting a plurality of differences obtained by the repeat controlling step.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the repeat controlling step is performed using all pairs of the plurality of lattice points of the three-dimensional lattice structure.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising an obtaining step of obtaining the actual distance by which the arm tip of the robot is moved using a laser tracker.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the steps from the movement instructing step to the presenting step are performed at least one time by changing the certain distance.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the robot is a six-axis robot.
