ABSTRACT
The paper discusses issues concerning the accuracy and repeatability tests of the positioning of the Kuka KR 16-2 industrial robot. The results of laboratory tests of an industrial robot, as well as a comparison of robot motion paths in the Robcad environment with the real robot motion paths are presented. In order to register movement paths in the laboratory conditions, the laser tracker Faro Vantage was used. Frequent necessity to correct programs of industrial robots created in the offline environment, is a results, among others, from the insufficient experience of people who carry out programming, the environment in which robots work and the parameters of the robots themselves, and therefore their accuracy and repeatability. It is connected with the extension of the start-up time and high costs. The work describes the measurement method and attempts to determine the influence of the type of route and motion parameters on the accuracy and repeatability of robot. The accuracy of mapping of simulated robot motion in a virtual environment was also verified.
