Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for calibrating pivoting units, in particular on cutting machines.
  • Pivoting units are devices that use two or three numerically controlled drives to change a tool in its orientation, ie to turn one point in several axes.

  • the swivel unit has corresponding devices, such as jig screws and adjusting devices.
  • gauges which are mounted on specially provided attachment points on the swivel unit and describe the ideal position of the TCP in the swivel assembly coordinate system by means of a punctiform tip (user manual Velomaster, ESAB Cutting Systems, 2003). After this point, the tool must be aligned in case of service or during initial startup.

While only a qualitative and subjective statement about the position of the TCP is made with the teachings described above, measurements based on dial gauges can also yield quantitative statements. Even more so than with the teachings described above, the operator's expertise is required to deduce the position of the TCP from the displays of the dial gauges and derive therefrom calibration actions.

  • the influence of the position axes on the calibration can be neglected to a first approximation and the calibration is limited to the swivel unit, d. H. the device responsible for orienting the tool around the TCP.
  • the procedure of calibration on TCP fixed swivel units differs significantly from that of industrial robots in that it does not have to be done by parameterizing parameters within a software, but by changing mechanical parameters with the aid of adjusting devices.
