Absolute accuracy parameters

Vlad222

Hi all,

I have absolute accuracy robots and I need to calculate forward kinematics by myself because we are using our software for building trajectories. Robot has parameters like error_offset_z, error_roll, etc. for each link.

But I don't know coordinate systems for robot links. I get DH modified parameters from RobotStudio PIM.xml for building coordinate systems. I draw CS for 4 links and understand that errors not in these coordinate systems.
I also tried to use equal CS (z - up, x - forward) for all links but it also is wrong.

Can you help me to understand which coordinate systems are used for each link correction: rob1_1, ..., rob1_6?

Hi Vlad,

I'm working on the same problem. I'm wondering if you ever made any progress on this? I've reached out to ABB customer support and have yet to hear back. I'll probably update this if/when I hear back from them.

Hallo, so far as I know, what ABB uses as DH-Parameters is based on  method of John J Craig.

See here for roll/pitch/yaw.

An offset is a deviation of the arm-length.

I don't what compliance is in that case.
