Abstract

For increasing the performances and for a proper working of a robotized flexible manufacturing system (FMS), it is necessary to calibrate the components’ parameters of the relative positions. Also the robotized FMS must be implemented into a complex control system program related to a specific application. The calibration method can be simplified by using design solutions with a common base plate. The uncoupling of the robots’ movements is proposed as simplified method for the calibration of FMS.
