The working characteristics of industrial robots is that robots always working in limited working points along a certain path. A robot work point calibration method based on the precision of spatial mesh was introduced according to the working characteristics of the robots. The spatial mesh precision was established based on spatial mesh accuracy in Cartesian space and Euler angle space. Then the “inverse distance to a power” method was used to calibrate robot’s pose error. The advantages of the new approach were twofold. 1) A conception named Euler angel space was proposed. In Euler angle space, the space grid accuracy control model was established, and the model was used for the robot to do the posture error calibration. 2) The robot’s position error and posture error were separated and calibrated separately. Then both the position and rotation precision can be simultaneously improved. Experimental results showed that the robot’s position and rotation precision was raised about an order of magnitude after calibration, and the feasibility and effectiveness of the method was proved.
