Abstract
A programmable robot is configurable between a measuring configuration, in which a probe is operable, and a machining configuration, in which a tool is operable. The robot includes a carrier for carrying the probe and the tool, a position sensing arrangement for determining coordinate data, and a controller 7. The controller is configured to cause the carrier, in the measuring configuration, to move the probe to each of a plurality of reference features in a template held in a first orientation by a jig, wherein feedback via the probe enables the position sensing arrangement to determine coordinate data associated with the reference features. The controller is configured to, based on the determined data, cause the carrier, in the machining configuration, to return to each position corresponding to each reference feature location and machine a workpiece held in the first orientation.
