Static and dynamic positioning

FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACCURACY AND REPEATABILITY OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOT POSITIONING

Industrial robots refer to the most complex products of mechanical engineering and electronic equipment in terms of their labor intensity, accuracy, and a class of manufacture as well as quality requirements. Both static and dynamic positioning inaccuracies occur during their operation. Static positioning depends mainly on such parameters as joint axis geometry and angle offset. Non-geometric parameters include compliance (elasticity of joints and bonds), gear form errors (eccentricity and gear errors), gear backlash, and temperature-related expansion.
