Abstract
A method of calibrating an automated placement machine having a robotic arm for picking up parts from a parts tray and a drawer for holding the parts tray therein. The method includes the acts of: positioning a calibration jig so that it is juxtapositioned at a corner of the drawer of the placement machine; positioning the robotic arm of the placement machine such that a portion of the robotic arm engages a portion of the calibration jig; determining a first set of spatial coordinates of the robotic arm when it is engaged with the calibration jig; and setting an origin point for the robotic arm such that the first set of spatial coordinates serves as the origin point from which movements of the robotic arm may be gauged.
