A METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING CALIBRATION OF AN OFF-LINE PROGRAMMED ROBOT CELL

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a system for facilitating calibration of a robot cell including one or more objects (8) and an industrial robot (1,2,3) performing work in connection to the objects, wherein the robot cell is programmed by means of an off-line programming tool including a graphical component for generating 2D or 3D graphics based on graphical models of the objects. The system comprises a computer unit (10) located at the off-line programming site and configured to store a sequence of calibration points for each of the objects, and to generate a sequence of images (4) including graphical representations of the objects to be calibrated and the calibration points in relation to the objects, and to transfer the images to the robot, and that the robot is configured to display said sequence of images to a robot operator during calibration of the robot cell so that for each calibration point a view including the present calibration point and the object to be calibrated is displayed to the robot operator.
