Abstract

This paper presents a new calibration method for industrial robots. The calibration method is based on a combination of inclinometer and LVDT measurements and is very simple to use. The inclinometers measure the deviation from the gravity direction of a measurement rod and the LVDT sensor measures the length of the rod. The inclinometers can be used without any pre-calibration and the whole equipment is inexpensive, portable and robust.
