摘要:
An end effector (50) provides one up assembly drilling through mated components, including a panel, by preloading the components to assure interface integrity, thus avoiding subsequent separation for cleaning and deburring. The end effector (50) includes a drill and clamp dispenser for temporarily inserting and removing expansible single-sided clamps at various pre-drilled locations in the panel. In one method, pilot holes (28) are first pre-drilled into mated components, for example an aircraft wing panel and a wing rib or spar; an initial pilot hole location is identified, and an expansible clamp (60) is inserted into a pilot hole adjacent a desired initial fastener hole (40) location. The clamp is torqued, causing its expansion for preloading the wing panel and rib and/or spar components under a predetermined load. The fastener hole (40) is then drilled, the end effector (50) untorques and removes the clamp and identifies a second (and/or next) pilot hole location, and the process is replicated.

A fully automated method is performed on a structure having a confined space. The structure has a location that is identifiable from within the confined space and from outside the confined space. A first robotic system moves a first end effector inside the confined space such that the first end effector is positioned over the location. A first vector corresponding to the location is generated. A second robotic system moves a second end effector outside the confined space such that the second end effector is positioned over the location. A second vector corresponding to the location is generated. The first and second vectors are used to move the first and second end effectors to a new location such that the first and second end effectors are in working opposition. The first and second end effectors perform a synchronous operation at the new location.

A robot apparatus includes: a robotic arm provided with a robotic hand capable of changing its position and its orientation by using joints; a visual sensor which measures a position or an orientation of a gripped object gripped with the robotic hand at a measurement teaching point; and a control device. The control device controls the position or the orientation of the gripped object when the gripped object is attached to an attachment target object at a corrected teaching point corrected based on a measurement result by the visual sensor. In this case, the control device determines a measurement teaching point, where the measurement with the visual sensor takes place, such that a driving direction of each of the joints from the measurement teaching point to the corrected teaching point is set to a definite driving direction.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Lage eines Objektes (1) und Werkstücks (6) im Raum zur Montage des Werkstücks (6) am Objekt (1) mittels eines Roboters (7) mit Greifer (7'), mit einem Bildverarbeitungssystems mit Sensoren (3,3',3"), wie Kameras, und Rechner. Roboter (7), Greifer (7') und Kameras (3,3',3") werden im Weltkoordinatensystem (W) vermessen und die Koordinaten im Bildverarbeitungssystem gespeichert. Die Lage eines ersten Objektes (1), Kalibrierobjekt, wird in einer Soll-Montageposition des Objektes (1) ebenfalls im Weltkoordinatensystem (W) vermessen und die Koordinaten im Bildverarbeitungssystem gespeichert. Ein erstes Werkstück (6), Kalibrierwerkstück, wird mittels des Greifers (7') in eine Vorhalteposition gefahren, die einen kleinen Abstand von der Soll-Montageposition zum Kalibrierobjekt besitzt und ebenfalls im Weltkoordinatensystem (W) vermessen und die Koordinaten gespeichert. Die Kameras (3,3',3") sind dergestalt im Weltkoordinatensystem (W) angeordnet und im Weltkoordinatensystem eingemessen, dass sie gleichzeitig sowohl die Soll-Montageposition des Kalibrierobjektes (1) als auch die Soll-Vorhalteposition des Kalibrierwerkstücks (6) erfassen, so dass das Bildverarbeitungssystem die Abweichung zwischen der Soll-Vorhalte- und der Soll-Montageposition berechnen kann. Nun wird ein Objekt (1) "ungenau" in eine Ist-Montageposition des Objektes (1) verbracht, die von der Soll-Montageposition des Kalibrierobjektes abweichen kann; der Greifer (7') entnimmt aus einem Lager (9) ein Werkstück (6) "ungenau" auf und verfährt es in eine Ist-Vorhalteposition, welche von der Soll-Vorhalteposition des Kalibrierwerkstücks abweichen kann, wobei die Kameras (3,3',3") das Werkstück (6) in der Ist-Vorhalteposition und gleichzeitig das Objekt (1) in der Ist-Montageposition erfassen. Das Bildverarbeitungssystem bestimmt die angefahrenen Ist-Positionen von Werkstück (6) und Objekt (1) und errechnet die notwendige Relativbewegung zwischen Werkstück (6) und Objekt (1) sechs-dimensional und gibt dem Greifer (7') des Roboters (7) diese Koordinaten der Ist-Montageposition vor, um welche der Greifer (7') zur genauen Plazierung des Werkstücks (6) am Objekt (1) translatorisch und rotatorisch zu verfahren ist.
摘要:
First and second robots (R1, R2) are placed apart from each other on a track (2) and caused to grab a component on supply conveyor lines (SP1, SP2) by hand at respective positions. Then, the robots (R1, R2) are moved to approach each other on the track (2), and stopped at positions where they are closest to each other. The two robots (R1, R2) are caused to select and grab a hand on a rotary hand placing table (4) and are switched from a state that a two-arm-cooperation mode is released to a state that the mode is put into effect by means of a robot control device. Then, the assembly job on a common assembling table (TB) is performed.
