Real-Time Path Correction of Industrial Robots with Direct End-Effector Feedback from a Laser Tracker Volume 10, Issue 1 Santiago Droll In contemporary industries there is a continuous and growing demand for very accurate robots. Yet robot vendors are limited in the achievable accuracy of their robots, as they have no means to provide direct end-effector feedback. Therefore, most...

Considerations for Design and In-Situ Calibration of High-Accuracy Length Artifacts for Field Testing of Laser Trackers Volume 10, Issue 1 Aaron Hudlemeyer, Mark Meuret, Daniel Sawyer, Chris Blackburn, Vincent Lee, Craig Shakarji Interim testing of laser trackers can be problematic due to the lack of high-precision, long-length artifacts that maintain their calibrated lengths during measurement. Gravitational loading, fixturing forces, and changes in the atmospheric conditions can...

Six-Point Method for Spatial Angle Measurement of a Hydraulic-Driven Underwater Manipulator Volume 9, Issue 2 Xi Zhang, Xu Zhang, Weiqing Chu, Dinghao Feng In this article, we demonstrate the development of a multiple-view stereo measurement system to determine the maximum rotational range of joints for a seven-function underwater manipulator. If a marker is attached to the rotating link of a joint, the...

Linear Laser Performance: How Distance, Environment, and Setup Affect a Laser Tracker’s Linear Accuracy Volume 9, Issue 2 Mateusz Turolski, Lukasz Turolski Calibration of laser trackers using precision rails and a reference interferometer (one with no angular encoders) is the most precise way of evaluating linear performance, yet only a handful of institutions and companies use such equipment. In addition,...
