A method for calibrating a machining system includes providing the machining system which includes a base, a cantilevered arm, and a rotary table positioned at the second arm end of the cantilevered arm. The rotary table is rotatable relative to the cantilevered arm about a first axis. The first axis has a first unloaded position and a first unloaded orientation with the machining system in an unloaded condition. The method further includes installing a measurement artifact on the rotary table, measuring a first position of the measurement artifact, and installing a load on the rotary table. The first axis has a first loaded position and a first loaded orientation with the machining system in a loaded condition. The method further includes measuring a second position of the measurement artifact and determining a positional deviation of the second position from the first position.

A balance correction assistance device includes a storage unit that stores an attachment/detachment position, where a weight for adjusting the balance of the rotating body is attached and detached, and a predetermined operation position, where the weight for adjusting balance is attached to or detached from the rotating body: a rotation position information acquisition unit that acquires, from a rotation position detection unit, information indicating the rotation position of the rotating body: a determination unit that determines, on the basis of the rotation position, a rotation angle difference, between the operation position and current attachment/detachment position, in the circumferential direction of the rotating body: and a notification control unit that, if the absolute value of the rotation angle difference is less than a first threshold, issues, from a notification unit an audible notification indicating that the absolute value of the rotation angle difference is less than the first threshold.
