Project looks to develop robots for precise machine milling

Comment

Mr Chang, Certainly some of the latest robots will reach the accuracy you stated. However we found that this is not necessarily true for all poses. Last week we used a Nikon K600 series 3D measurement system to check the accuracy of 90 poses. This was done on two second hand robots, a IRB 6640 and an IRB 2400l, we saw a spread of between 0.4mm and 2.2mm deviation between intended and actual position. Best Regards Roland
