<p>A system and method for calibrating a positioning device, such as a hexapod machining center, are disclosed. The system comprises a gage nest, having a plurality of sensors and being connected to the positioning device; an artifact, disposed in a work area defined by the positioning device; a first computer, connected to said positioning device, for controlling and recording precision movements of the positioning device with respect to the artifact; and a second computer for using the recorded precision movement as input data in order to simulate the operation of the positioning device, thereby iteratively determining the actual geometry of the positioning device.</p> |
