Measuring positions and calibration statistics

Measurements are collected during dual calibration, as the robots continue to move around. A preliminary calibration is calculated, then replaced by the final calibration calculation.

1 Collecting the measurements 2 Calculating the calibration

 

At the end of the dual calibration, a Calibration Results box provides a report on the success of the calibration. If the Calibration Results box appears as green text, then the calibration was successful. If the calibration Results box appears as red text, then the calibration was unsuccessful, and the procedure continues.

The Calibration Results provide statistics in millimeters (mm) and milliradians (mrad) which refer to the RMS deviation in Cartesian Space, as follows:

  • Mean deviation: The average deviation in millimeters and in milliradians between the positions measured by the first and second robot.

  • Standard deviation: The standard deviation calculated on the basis of the above.

  • Max deviation: The maximal measured deviation.
