A robot calibration system includes a calibration sensor (60) that provides an indication of when a first reference point that remains fixed relative to a robot base (24) is a fixed distance from a second reference point that is located on the robot arm (22). The robot arm is moved through a plurality of orientations and each time that the fixed distance between the two reference points is achieved (36, 50, 52), robot joint position information is determined. The preferred calibration sensor (60) includes a string that extends between the two reference points and activates a signal generator each time that the string is taut as caused by the orientation of the robot arm.

L'invention se rapporte à un système d'étalonnage d'un robot comportant un capteur d'étalonnage (60) qui délivre une indication relative à l'instant où un premier point de référence qui est fixe par rapport à une base (24) du robot se trouve à une distance fixe d'un second point de référence qui est situé sur le bras (22) du robot. Le bras du robot se déplace selon une pluralité d'orientations et chaque fois que la distance fixe entre les deux points de référence est obtenue (36, 50, 52), il est possible d'acquérir une information relative à la position de l'articulation du robot. Le capteur d'étalonnage (60) préféré comporte une corde qui est disposée entre les deux points de référence et il active un générateur de signaux chaque fois que la corde est tendue en raison de l'orientation du bras du robot.
