A positioner (30) for arc welding having a few movable members and a simple structure, an arc welding robot system including the positioner and an arc welding robot (10), whereby the orientation of the workpiece corresponding to a welding site of the workpiece may be suitably changed by a minimum motion of the positioner. The positioner includes a pair of support members (32), a first member (36) having two ends supported by the pair of support members such that the first member is rotatable about a first axis (34) parallel to an installation surface of the positioner, a second member (42) having two ends supported by a pair of supporting portions (40) arranged on the first member such that the second member is rotatable about a second axis (38) perpendicular to the first axis, and a workpiece fixing part (44) for fixing the workpiece (100) to the second member.

A robot base (15) is installed on a ceiling (100), and a first wrist element (11) is attached to a front arm base (10) to be rotatable about a first axis A. A second wrist element (12) is attached to the first wrist element (11) to be rotatable about a second axis (B), and a welding torch (2) is supported via a transmission mechanism (13) to be rotatable about an offset axis (C). The welding torch (2) is attached so that a tip end thereof is directed downward in the illustrated posture of the robot (1). A linear guide (6a) and a slider (7) are provided via a support base (5), and an intermediate portion of a torch cable (3) or a welding wire delivery device (4) is fixed thereto to draw a tensioning device (80). Such a structure is also applicable to a wall-hanging type robot. Thereby, a structure for treating a torch cable (3) is realized in an arc welding robot (1) of a ceiling-suspension type or a wall-hanging type, capable of maintaining the behavior of the torch cable (3) in a stable state as well as minimizing the interference of the torch cable (3) with other objects.
摘要:
A laser processing robot (10) including a manipulator (14); a laser processing tool (18) attached to the manipulator; an optical fiber (22) for transmitting a laser beam (L) to the laser processing tool; and a line passage (52) formed inside an arm section (28) to accommodate the optical fiber. The arm section includes a first member (48) disposed fixedly about a first control axis (44) and a second member (50) supported on the first member rotatably about the first control axis. The line passage (52) is formed continuously within the first and second members (48,50), an optical fiber inlet port (54) thereof being provided in the first member and an optical fiber outlet port (56) thereof being provided in the wrist portion. The laser processing tool includes an attachment section (60) attached to the wrist portion rotatably about a second control axis (46) perpendicular to the first control axis (44); a nozzle section (64) extending from the attachment section (60) and provided with a laser beam passage (62) extending to intersect the second control axis (46); and a reflecting section (66) arranged within the attachment section (60), for reflecting a laser beam emitted from the optical fiber to direct it toward the laser beam passage. The emitting end face (22a) of the optical fiber is positioned between the optical fiber outlet port (56) and the reflecting section (66).
摘要:
An operation line tracking device for a robot for performing an operation with a tool mounted on the robot while tracking an operation line using a sensor wherein a detection failure of the sensor is restored by automatically changing or resetting a detecting condition of the sensor when the sensor fails in detecting the operation line. If a detection failure occurs for a cause of excessive or too small quantity of light impinged on light receiving elements of a laser sensor, a laser output intensity is automatically changed. If a detection failure occurs for a cause of basing of the quantity of the impinged light, an orientation of the laser sensor is automatically adjusted. If a detection failure occurs for a cause of biasing of position of the operation line in the visual field of the laser sensor, the position of the laser sensor is automatically adjusted. If a detection failure occurs for a cause of detection of an unexpected line, an algorithm for detecting the operation line is replaced with another one. Thus, the detecting condition is automatically changed or reset in accordance with the cause of the detection failure, and the tracking operation of the robot is automatically restarted.
摘要:
A managing structure, for an umbilical member (6,60) for a work tool of a robot (10), capable of stabilizing the motion of the umbilical member during the operation of a wrist of the robot and making the work of modifying the system of the robot easier. The umbilical member is introduced into an opening (26) formed at the back of a base (14) of a forearm. The umbilical member extends through a hollow portion of a speed reducer (30) and is drawn from a first opening (21) formed on the side of a first wrist element (15). A cable (62) for welding current and a tube (63) for supplying shield gas, constituting the umbilical member, are directly connected to a welding torch (19) rotatable about a third axis (C). A welding wire (61) is guided and fed by a feed roller (51) of a wire feeder (50) and, then, is connected to the welding torch (19) with the cable (62) and the tube (63). The feed roller (51) is driven by a motor (52) contained within the first wrist element (15).
