hereafter described the cad model of the work object 10 is placed in the robotic simulation cad world the cad user will select a position best suited on a tool or work piece to avoid crashes with other tooling and for ease of access for the robot or end of arm tooling the off line programs are then downloaded relative to this work object 10 the work object 10 will be placed onto the tool or work piece in the position that was defined by the cad user onto the shop floor the robot technician will then manipulate the robot 39 s tool center point into the device and align it to the laser beams to obtain the difference between the cad world and shop floor this difference will be entered into the robot and used to define the new work object thus calibrating the off line programs and defining the distance and orientation of the tool fixture peripheral and other key components the robotic work object cell calibration system of the present invention calibrates the paths to the robot accurate or inaccurate while involving the calibration of the peripherals of the robot the robotic work object cell calibration system of the present invention aids in the kiting or reverse engineering of robotic systems for future use in conjunction with robotic simulation software allowing integrators the ability to update their simulation cad files to the u201c real world u201d positions the technology uses existing body in white procedures personnel computers and software and ways of communicating information amongst the trades throughout this application various patents and applications are referenced by number and inventor the disclosures of these.
