SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALIGNING A COORDINATED MOVEMENT MACHINE REFERENCE FRAME WITH A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM REFERENCE FRAME

摘要

A method for aligning a machine tool reference frame with a camera reference frame includes applying at least two linear machine movements and at least two rotational movements to a machine arm. Measurements are taken during these movements. Transforming the camera reference frame to the machine reference frame is based on an angular offset and x, y and z offsets between a machine tool origin and a camera origin based on the measurements taken during the machine movements.
