Abstract:
An accelerometer is mounted on a robot to monitor movement of a tool assembly attached to the robot end effector for safety monitoring purposes. The accelerometer provides an output signal to the robot controller which the controller uses to monitor the robot movement and stop that movement when a predetermined values of acceleration, speed and distance are detected during lead-through teaching of the robot. A handle can be attached to the robot end effector and the accelerometer can be mounted on the handle.
