Short summary
To lower the frequency of suspending and calibrating a robot manipulator, an innovative device for enlarging the allowed position error is proposed in this study. It is a purely mechanical device without any electrical sensors. A trigger mechanism with a spring is used to replace a touch sensor and an actuator, and a six-bar linkage delivers the bolt to the hole that the trigger mechanism detected for it to be screwed in. The functions of the new device are verified through prototype testing.
