Industrial robot with a conduit holding member (24) holding a conduit (13) with an umbilical member (20) passing therethrough, the industrial robot comprises - a forearm (7) having a - tool managing and relaying device (12) and - a wrist (8-10) with a - proximal end rotatably connected to said forearm (7) and having - a work tool (15) mounted on a distal end of said wrist, with - an umbilical-member (20) connected to said work tool (15) being disposed to run along said wrist via said tool managing and relaying device (12), wherein said forearm (7) has - a first reduction gear which reduces a rotational speed of a driving source to rotationally drive said forearm (7), the first reduction gear having - a first insertion hole (33) for passing said umbilical-member into said first insertion hole (33); and, - said wrist (8-10) comprises - a first wrist element (8) having - a through-path (11) in communication with said first insertion hole (33) and rotatably connected to said forearm (7), and - a second wrist element (9) having - a second insertion hole (39) in communication with said through-path (21) and rotatably connected to said first wrist element (8); and - a conduit (13) for passing said umbilical-member (20) from one end to the other end is provided in said first insertion hole (33) of said forearm (7), in said through-path (11) of said first wrist element (8), and in said second insertion hole (39) of said second wrist element (9) and, one end of said conduit (13) being inserted in said first insertion hole (33) so as to permit movement in an axial direction and in a direction of outer circumference of said conduit (13), an - other end of said conduit (13) is held on said second wrist element (9) in a cantilever fashion by a conduit holding member (24) so as to restrict a movement of said conduit (13) in said axial direction of said conduit (13).
摘要:
A drive mechanism for an industrial robot arm, having a simple drive system, in which an extracting part of an umbilical member (54) for a work tool (32) is suitably positioned and a control device (34) for the work tool is positioned on the forearm so as not to project out, while the basic configuration of the robot arm may be similar to the prior art. A motor for a first wrist element (22) is positioned in the area between a forearm and an upper arm such that the rotation axis of the motor is perpendicular to a second axis. Further, the motor is positioned at the point shifted toward the wrist element or a front end of the forearm, in relation to a first axis, along the longitudinal direction of the forearm. Therefore, a wide area for a wire feeder may be obtained above a bottom portion of the forearm.

A wrist driving structure for an industrial robot having: a first wrist element (10,10A,10B) supported in cantilever fashion rotatably about a first axis (a); a second wrist element (11) pivotally supported in cantilever fashion at a distal end side of the first wrist element with a proximal end as a supporting point about a second axis (b) intersecting the first axis; a third wrist element (12) supported in cantilever fashion at a distal end side of the second wrist element rotatably about a third axis (c) intersecting the second axis; two driving motors (13,14) provided in the first wrist element for driving the second wrist element and the third wrist element, respectively; and two gear sets (15,20) for reducing a rotational speed of the two driving motors in predetermined reduction ratios. Each of the gear sets has a driving gear (16,21) driven by one of the two driving motors and a driven ring gear (17,22) which meshes with the driving gear. Two driven ring gears of the two gear sets are disposed coaxially with the second axis. Two driving gears of the two gear sets are positioned parallel to each other at both sides of the second axis.
摘要:
A robot system comprising a first robot (R1) with a camera of a visual sensor mounted thereon and a second robot (R2) having a feature portion, is disclosed. The robots (R1, R2) are set in the first initial states (G1), from which the first robot (R1) or the second robot (R2) is moved so that the image of the feature portion assumes a target position or size (G2), thereby to store the present positions (P1, Q1) (G3). The same process is repeated N times (N ≥ 3) while changing the positions of the initial states of the robots (G4). Based on the positions P1,...., PN and Q1,....., QN obtained by the N repetitive above processes, a matrix T indicating the coordinate conversion from Σb to Σb' is determined. One or two robot control units may be provided. As a result, the calibration to determine relative positions between the robots can be carried out easily and with high accuracy, thereby reducing the jig-related cost.
