SYSTEM FOR CHECKING CALIBRATION OF A ROBOTIC MULTI-AXIS MACHINE

摘要

A system for checking calibration of a multi-axis machine includes a robotic arm and a mount configured to receive a removable machine tool and a controller electronically connected to the multi-axis machine. The removable machine tool includes a removable spray nozzle and a laser housing that is coupled to the machine tool. The laser housing includes a laser affixed inside the housing for emitting a laser beam and a calibration workpiece coupled to a mounting table. The calibration workpiece comprises a plurality of laser sensors disposed along an outer surface of the calibration workpiece. The controller is programmed to point the laser beam at each laser sensor. The laser sensors generate signals that are communicated back to the controller if the laser beam is detected by the laser sensor.
