The robot calibration systems combine a work object with an industrial robot and a robot tool. Three different work objects can be used with the system. This technology enables the user to visually see a robotic reference frame, a frame in space that is relative to the industrial robot and workpiece that is otherwise abstract. Enabling the user to visually see the robotic reference frame on the manufacturing shop floor enables adjustment of the robotic frame to the shop floor and correction of a robotic path or off-line program to enhance accuracy. Two laser beams are emitted and intersect at a laser intersection point. The laser intersection point and the laser beams are then used to define a robotic reference frame. The technology improves cost and time factors in applications where absolutely accurate robots are not necessary.
