Repeatability重复精度
Repeatability is the ability of a robot or motion system to return to the same taught position under identical conditions over repeated cycles, usually expressed as a small deviation such as ±0.02 mm. In manufacturing documents, it is listed beside payload and speed in robot specifications, and it is distinct from accuracy, which measures how close the reached position is to the commanded target.

Where this term appears
Robot specification sheets, validation reports, and sales collateral all contain repeatability values. Translators encounter it when localizing datasheets for Asian, European, and North American markets, where decimal separators, micron-to-inch conversions, and terms such as “repeatability” versus “reproducibility” must be handled carefully. It also occurs in quality documentation when machine capability is compared with part tolerance.
Translation checks
A common error is translating repeatability as “accuracy” or “precision” without qualification. In manufacturing, these terms have distinct statistical meanings; using them interchangeably can mislead a buyer into believing a robot reaches commanded positions more exactly than it does. The error may cause a machine to be accepted for a process it cannot actually hold.

Repeatability in context · equipment specification
- English source
- Check the specified repeatability under the stated conditions.
- Chinese rendering to review
- 在规定条件下核对所述重复性。
Illustrative wording only. Confirm the rendering against the actual source and approved project terminology.
Check the distinction in context
Repeatability and accuracy describe different characteristics. Keep the source condition, measurement method and unit attached to the figure. Chinese copy should not upgrade one metric into the other or remove the qualification from a product specification.
Check the returned Chinese file
Compare the Chinese metric label with the measurement description in the source notes. Preserve the stated conditions and avoid substituting a familiar accuracy term where the document explicitly describes repeatability.
Prepare the connected files
Provide the complete specification row and explanatory notes. Identify previously approved Chinese terms and any drawing references used for measurement.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
