Repeatability measurement of using adhesive bond for attaching a laser tracker's SMR to a robot flange

This data is part of the paper: "Design and Evaluation of a Low-Cost Mount for Attaching a Laser Tracker’s SMR to a Robot Flange". It was created by using the software FARO CAM2 for the laser tracker FARO Vantage E with a 1.5 inch Standard Accuracy Break Resistant SMR from FARO with gold covering, a range of 60 m and a centring accuracy of < ±7.6 µm. For the measurements the SMR is placed in a monument attached with adhesive bond to the robot flange facing the laser tracker. It is used to evaluate the accuracy of the designed mount by comparing its eccentricity and repeatability to the method of using an adhesive bond.All measurement values are positional data in the three-dimensional coordinate system (x,y,z) in mm.As a comparison to the designed mount, the current SMR fixture using an adhesive bond was analysed. The repeatability of attaching the monument at the same position with adhesive bond was tested. The monument was placed ten times in the same position as close as possible. The position of a SMR in the monument was then measured.
