Industrial Robot Repeatability Testing With High Speed Camera Phantom V2511

Abstract

Apart from accuracy, one of the parameters describing industrial robots is positioning accuracy. The parameter in question, which is the subject of this paper, is often the decisive factor determining whether to apply a given robot to perform certain tasks or not. Articulated robots are predominantly used in such processes as: spot welding, transport of materials and other welding applications, where high positioning repeatability is required. It is therefore essential to recognise the parameter in question and to control it throughout the operation of the robot. This paper presents methodology for robot positioning accuracy measurements based on vision technique. The measurements were conducted with Phantom v2511 high-speed camera and TEMA Motion software, for motion analysis. The object of the measurements was a 6-axis Yaskawa Motoman HP20F industrial robot. The results of measurements obtained in tests provided data for the calculation of positioning accuracy of the robot, which was then juxtaposed against robot specifications. Also analysed was the impact of the direction of displacement on the value of attained pose errors. Test results are given in a graphic form.

Obstacle Avoidance and Tracking Control of Redundant Robotic Manipulator: An RNN-Based Metaheuristic Approach

“…Eq. 11 Use the generated random vector to calculate the location of left and right antennae, θ kL and θ kR respectively, using (15). Project the location of these antennae on the constrained set Ω using the projection function P Ω as defined in (16) to .…”

“…For example, one of the traditional control algorithm, called Jacobian-matrix-pseudo-inverse (JMPI), was shown to have poor repeatability [14]. Jerzy et al [15] proposed a systematic procedure to measure the pose repeatability of an industrial manipulator and discussed the concerning factors additional to the control algorithm, e.g., mechanical and thermal strain. Similarly, several algorithms have been proposed to increase the repeatability of the manipulator during long-term operation [16].…”

Application of modern measurement techniques for analysis of injection moulding shrinkage

“…The main reason of using CAx tools is primarily reduction time-to-market of new product. CAE analyses [20][21][22][23][24], CAM and CNC manufacturing techniques [25][26][27][28] allow to faster and better fit of the design assumptions. The Reverse Engineering (RE) methods can be used to accurately reproduce free-form shapes using non-contact [29] and contact [30] measurement techniques.…”

Vibration identification of the roadheader cutting head using high-speed cameras

“…They are popular in military applications [1], on production lines or in crash tests. However, measurement techniques based on recording events with high-speed cameras have also been more and more popular in other fields of industry and science [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] thanks to the constantly improved imaging and image analysis techniques. Undoubtedly, they have many advantages, but also carry certain disadvantages.…”
