The following items are required to install RoboDK and properly perform robot calibration:

1.One or more industrial robot arms (6-axis robot arm).

2.A measurement system: any laser tracker such as Leica, API or Faro and or optical CMM such as the C-Track stereocamera from Creaform should work.

3.RoboDK software must be installed and an appropriate license for robot calibration testing is required. For network licenses, an internet connection is required to check the license. To install or update RoboDK for robot calibration:

a.Download RoboDK from the download section://m.sinclairbody.com/download.

b.我的司机asurement system (not required for latest Leica trackers)
Unzip and copy the subfolder in:
C:/RoboDK/api/
API Laser tracker://m.sinclairbody.com/downloads/private/API.zip(OTII and Radian trackers).
Faro Laser Tracker://m.sinclairbody.com/downloads/private/Faro.zip(all Faro Trackers).
Leica Laser Tracker://m.sinclairbody.com/downloads/private/Leica.zip(all Leica Trackers).

4.When using a laser tracker, one or more targets should be attached to the robot tool. Make sure toavoidplacing the target near axis 6 during the tool setup. Otherwise, it is not possible to properly identify the location of the robot flange.

Note: Having a special tool plate for robot calibration is optional. It is better to calibrate the robot using the same tool that will be used for manufacturing/production (same tool payload and center of gravity). One SMR can be attached to the robot tool for the calibration procedure. The tool (TCP) can then beself-calibratedusing the robot accuracy (make sure to calibrate the TCP using robot joints, not poses)
