Claim:
1. A method for calibrating a robot work path for a robot tool, said method comprising: a. placing a work object relative to a selected position on a fixture on an automotive shop floor, said fixture being positioned on said automotive shop floor, said work object including first and second lasers, said first laser emitting a first laser beam, said second laser emitting a second laser beam, said first and second laser beams intersecting at a laser intersection point; b. manipulating said robot tool into alignment with said laser intersection point of said work object so as to enable calibration of said robot work path for said robot tool relative to said laser intersection point when said work object is mounted onto said fixture; and c. downloading an offline program relative to said work object, said work object being placed onto said robot tool in a position defined by CAD simulation software on said automotive shop floor; whereby said offline program enables said robot work path to be calibrated relative to a known point in space when said work object is mounted on said fixture on said automotive shop floor.
