Abstract
This paper presents a new calibration method for industrial robots. The cal ibration method is based on a combination of inclinometer and LVDT measurem ents and is very simple to use. The inclinometers measure the deviation fro m the gravity direction of a measurement rod and the LVDT sensor measures t he length of the rod. The inclinometers can be used without any pre-calibra tion and the whole equipment is inexpensive, portable and robust.
