Robots are part of the integrated production process, being widely used in manufacturing processes, including the positioning of parts. One of the factors that influences the accuracy of the products to be machined is related to the errors of positioning the workpiece at each stage of manufacture. To determine the amplitude and the medium value of the positioning error, we used axiomatic design to develop a device capable of measuring positioning errors. The result was a constructive solution for a device capable of taking the positioning data of the end of the robot arm along three axes of a spatial coordinate system. In this way, data are recorded using dial comparators positioned on existing channels in the three walls corresponding to the corner of a cube-shaped box. Statistical processing of measurement results should provide information on the positioning accuracy of a workpiece by an industrial robot.
