The Future of Precision: Why Robot Calibration is a Game-Changer in Modern Manufacturing

The main purpose of robot calibration is to determine the location of the robot tools in their working environment to enable accurate movement, so the technology can be relied upon as it moves throughout the work zone. 

Why is Robot Calibration Important? 

As modern manufacturing improves and speeds up productivity and throughput, increased production demands can lead to more mistakes if robots are not correctly calibrated. The greatest risk of not performing calibration is rejecting defective product. Across industries, the overall cost penalty of rejecting defective product, one error, not a dozen errors that went through the system is enormous. Even just one part rejected, these decisions can cost upwards of hundreds of thousands, and even millions of dollars, depending on specific circumstances. In fact, some companies will even become more cost effective by performing complete calibration every day, because they know how many defective parts must be manufactured to break even, Their computer programs can inform the organization whether calibration applies to their robots every shift.

All of this said, the purpose of calibration is still to be able to in a physical sense measure the range of operational potential of the applications. And, if we know that the applications can operate with unreasonably high levels of precision, at all times, their efficacy or usefulness is supported by production reliability.

How is Dynalog Innovating the Automotive Industry

As a company evolving toward the Future of Precision, Dynalog is studying how the automotive sector is utilizing robots. These newer applications have boast numerous possibilities, but

Likewise, Dynalog continues to focus on advanced problem solving for existing and new applications outside the automotive sector, as well. Its pedigree in the automotive sector has allowed it to explore and take advantage of advanced machine learning algorithms and visualization applications.

In conclusion, with recent advances in robot calibration, the knowledge gained from the applications of robotics and advanced machine learning applications is exponentially increasing. This will lead to sweeping changes in how robots are used across all sectors. Looking ahead, Dynalog is leading the arena for organizational efficacy, as the ability for robots to make precise calibrated movements within the production ecosystem is changing.

Robotics has greatly increased the reliability and accuracy of manufacturing processes to a point where defects are few and far between. By leveraging the potential of robotics innovations in tandem with advanced calibration processes, manufacturers can expect less wasted time and resources on defective products.

Why Robot Calibration is Mandatory More often than not, industrial robots take the form of "repeatable" by default but not "accurate." In other words, they can produce the same motion over and over with minimal variability, but the motion can still be hundreds of millimeters off their intended path. In many cases this discrepancy can mean defects, down time, or wasted time and materials. This is where robot calibration is important. 

 increased accuracy:  By calibrating the robot, you ensure the robot performs exactly as it was designed to in their digital twin or CAD model, which reduces offsets. 

 reduced downtime:  The more accurate the robot, the less errors, less rework, and increased cycle time. 

 cost savings:  Greater first-panel yield rates and efficient work processes will cut costs in the long run.

 interchangeability: Calibrated robots can switch tasks and/or tooling quickly and with little recalibration.

Here are a few of the main products and services provided by Dynalog:

1. Robot Calibration Systems

Dynalog’s DynaCal system is a complete mechanism which calibrates a robot's kinematic model by measuring its actual joint and end-effector positions across the kinematic model with the use of external sensors and then comparing those to theoretical values.

Once calibrated, the robot's internal kinematic model is updated to align with its real-world performance and positioning accuracy improves substantially.

2. TCP Calibration (Tool Center Point)

Tool accuracy is as vital as robot positioning. Dynalog’s DynaTCP system accurately measures the position and orientation of any tool, accordingly to the robot flange, which is important for any application requiring welding, painting or material handling, where the smallest misalignment can create errors.

3. Robot Performance Monitoring

Robots may drift out of alignment, over time. Dynalog offers systems which provide the ability to continuously monitor robot performance and allow engineers to identify and rectify problems before they affect production. This proactivity leads to improved time savings, lowers maintenance costs and increased uptime.

4. Robot Simulation and Validation

Dynalog also offers high precision simulation and validation products which ensure the robot path that was created during offline programming or pathing is congruent when implemented in the factory environment. This "what you see is what you get" process is very important to companies approving towards
