本文考虑了测量误差对确定工业机器人位置重复性的影响。仿真和实验结果表明，重复性的计算值随测量误差的变化而变化。已经发现，很少注意指定要使用的测量系统的特性和/或类型。有人建议，仪器的选择可能对重复性测试的结果产生重大影响，因此应充分详细地考虑。

THIS PAPER CONSIDERS THE EFFECT OF MEASUREMENT ERROR IN DETERMINING THE POSITIONAL REPEATABILITY OF AN INDUSTRIAL ROBOT. SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS DEMONSTRATE HOW THE CALCULATED VALUE OF REPEATABILITY VARIES AS A FUNCTION OF MEASUREMENT ERROR. IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT LITTLE ATTENTION IS PAID TO SPECIFYING THE CHARACTERISTICS AND/OR TYPE OF MEASUREMENT SYSTEM THAT IS TO BE USED. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE CHOICE OF INSTRUMENTATION CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE RESULTS OF REPEATABILITY TESTING AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE CONSIDERED IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL.
