A servomotor control device for a robot which can adjust the characteristics of maximum torque and/or continuous rated output of the servomotor and a robot with easy maintenance. The robot is commanded to execute one cycle of taught motion. During the cycle, a maximum torque required for the servomotor is calculated by a torque command or the like. When the maximum torque lacks, a field weakening current correction value is increased for increasing d-phase current and the maximum torque. Further, lack of continuous rated output may be judged by detected temperature of the servomotor. When a lack of continuous rated output occurs, the correction value is decreased to decrease the d-phase current so as to adjust the characteristic of continuous rated output. Although the servomotors have the same specification, the characteristic of each of the servomotors may be optimized corresponding to the axis by adjusting the field weakening current (or the d-phase current). As the hardware such as the control devices have the same specification, manufacture, maintenance and control of the robot may become easier.
