Influence of Coordinate System Alignment on the Calibration of Multi-Component Force and Moment Sensors

J. Nitsche, D. Röske, R. Tutsch
Abstract:
For the calibration of multi-component force and moment sensors no national or international standard exists. In different approaches for calibration procedures, a precise alignment of sensor and calibration reference is required. The influence of such an alignment, however, is not mentioned.
Based on a model of a calibration setup and an assumption of possible misalignments, an analysis of the systematic error, caused by such misalignment, is performed. Additionally, a strategy to identify the necessary coordinate transformation is given.
