Enhancement of Tracking Performance of Laser Tracking System for Measuring Position Accuracy of Robots

The laser tracking system(LTS) presents the most promising technique for dynamic position measurement of industrial robots. This system combine the advantage of high accuracy with a contactless measurement technique. It is the measurement system of position in three dimensions using distance data obtained by laser interferometer and real time angle by tracking mirror assembly. After measuring the tracking error of the beam projected on the center of retroreflector in robot end effector, this system tracks the end effector continuously by adjusting tracking mirror angle to minimize this error ...
