Abstract (en)
Method to calibrate a valve of a gas boiler, the valve (2) having at least one movable calibration element (2a, 2b) in which boiler operating parameters are measured by means of measuring instruments (5), at least one 3D image of the valve (2) is acquired through an optical acquisition means (12), orientation and position of the calibration element (2a, 2b) are identified from the 3D image, a motor-driven tool (13a, 13b), which is couplable to the calibration element (2a, 2b), is moved through an anthropomorphic robot (8) along a path ending with the coupling between the tool (13a, 13b) and the calibration element (2a, 2b) and calculated based on position and orientation of the calibration element (2a, 2b), and the tool (13a, 13b) is operated to adjust the calibration element (2a, 2b) based on the measured parameter so as to carry out an adjustment cycle of the calibration element (2a, 2b).
