Abstract
Provided is a calibration system for a horizontal articulated robot, the system including: an installation surface on which a base of the horizontal articulated robot is installed; two reference surfaces that are provided on the base, that intersect with the installation surface, and that intersect with each other; and a positioning jig that is attached to a distal end of the horizontal articulated robot and that has three positioning surfaces, which respectively and simultaneously come into contact with the installation surface and the two reference surfaces.

A calibration system for a horizontal articulated robot, the calibration system comprising:
- an installation surface on which a base of the horizontal articulated robot is installed;
- reference surfaces that are provided on the base and that define two directions intersecting with the installation surface and intersecting with each other;
- and
- a positioning jig that is attached to a distal end of the horizontal articulated robot and that has positioning surfaces, in three directions, which respectively and simultaneously come into contact with the installation surface and the reference surfaces.
A calibration method for a horizontal articulated robot, the calibration method comprising:
- installing a base of the horizontal articulated robot on an installation surface;
- attaching a positioning jig to a distal end of the horizontal articulated robot;
- releasing a braking function of the horizontal articulated robot;
- and
- a positioning step in which positioning surfaces, in three directions, formed on the positioning jig are respectively pressed against the installation surface and reference surfaces that are provided on the base and that define two directions intersecting with the installation surface and intersecting with each other.
