  • Patent number: 12153395
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a machining system includes providing the machining system which includes a base, a cantilevered arm, and a rotary table positioned at the second arm end of the cantilevered arm. The rotary table is rotatable relative to the cantilevered arm about a first axis. The first axis has a first unloaded position and a first unloaded orientation with the machining system in an unloaded condition. The method further includes installing a measurement artifact on the rotary table, measuring a first position of the measurement artifact, and installing a load on the rotary table. The first axis has a first loaded position and a first loaded orientation with the machining system in a loaded condition. The method further includes measuring a second position of the measurement artifact and determining a positional deviation of the second position from the first position.
