When a robot has been calibrated with RoboDK we have the option to activate accurate kinematics by right clicking the robot and selecting Use accurate kinematics.

If accuracy is active, we will see a green dot, if it is not active, we will see a red dot.

This is the recommended option to have optimal accuracy results. With the robot accuracy option activated in RoboDK, all programs generated by RoboDK will be automatically filtered. This means that all Cartesian coordinates will be slightly modified to compensate robot errors.

This is the most suitable option if you are planning to use your robots for robot machining, program robots from NC files or use any of RoboDK’s supported CAD/CAM plugins.

Important: Make sure the first movement of a program is a joint move when generating programs for accuracy purposes.

Important: Once you’ve generated a program you should make sure to not change the robot configuration.

Note: You should make sure the tool center point (TCP) and Reference frame have been calibrated and defined in RoboDK (matching the values in the real setup before filtering).
