Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable flexible manufacturing of multiple vehicle types or styles and compensate the errors accumulated between a positioner used for the same manufacturing function and a nominal or ideal positioner. SOLUTION: The positioner 14 to be used for a machine tool equips a tool, at least one servomotor (40, 60, 72, 90, or 110) to operate the tool, a controller to control said servomotor, a nonvolatile memory in said controller, and calibration data stored in the nonvolatile memory. The calibration data includes a parameter to compensate the errors accumulated by the positioner 14.
