A teaching tool for programming a laser beam using a robot is provided. The teaching tool includes a sensor which emits a low energy laser beam to be focused on to a predetermined point on a masterwork piece, a photoelectric array associated with the sensor for receiving energization from the laser beam, a housing, a source of focused incandescent light so that a programmer can visually observe the point at which the laser beam is focused, a control and comparator circuit receiving signals from the photoelectric array to determined the focal length of the laser beam emitted by the sensor and a diode gate for effecting energization of a signal indicating that the low energy laser beam of said robot will effect optimize work on said workpieces.

A water jet trim head simulator has the same configuration and dimensions as a cutting or trim head nozzle on a water jet apparatus for trimming workpiece scrap. The simulator is used to guide a robot arm of the apparatus into various multi-axes trim head positions during a teaching mode of operation of the controller for the apparatus. The simulator includes mounting means for connection to the robot arm. The simulator further includes tracking means including a hollow body connected to a fiber optics bundle for directing light from a source to an objective lens for focusing a spot of light on a premarked trim path point on a master workpiece to establish one of a plurality of spatial points to be taught into the controller. The simulator further includes a feeler gauge for physically positioning the simulator with respect to the workpiece to assist the alignment of the light beam to its focused point on the workpiece.

A PLC system includes a displacement sensor, drives, and a PLC. In the PLC system, the trace control unit calculates a target position at which a distance between the displacement sensor and the object is constant based on measurement information (1D information) from which measurement noise (noise information) has been removed by the filter and positional information from the drives.

A robotic pen includes a computer numerically controlled machine having a multiaxis stage for mounting a workpiece, and a cooperating elevator which translates relative thereto. A pen tip is rotatably mounted to the elevator. And, a dispenser is joined in flow communication with the pen tip for ejecting a stream of material atop the workpiece as the workpiece moves relative thereto for maintaining a substantially constant gap between said pen tip and the workpiece during relative movement therebetween.

This invention defines a system and method for manufacturing three-dimensional articles from a design created on a CAD item. The article is made using particle deposition of a fluent material to a build-up on a servo assembly base. The fluent material is deposited in the form of droplets from a dispensing head of a head assembly by moving the assembly up and down in a reciprocating motion according to the three-dimensional design coordinator. A droplet of fluent material forms as the dispensing head moves downward and makes contact with the article being formed, as the head reaches its lowest position of travel. The surface tension and capillarity of the fluent material is used to form the mass and shape of the droplet at the top surface of the article as the dispensing is moved upwards. The size and shape of each droplet may also be controlled by the type of fluent material used as well as its temperature and pressure and the size of the dispensing head orifice.

Disclosed is a nozzle movement system for a laser machining equipment for moving the nozzle of a CNC laser machining equipment when carrying out a three-dimensional machining of a machining surface of a workpiece. A hand coordinate system composed of the axial direction of the nozzle and the plane perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle is provided, and a movement command on the hand coordinate system is output by using a machine operation panel (31). A matrix creation means (38) creates a conversion matrix from the hand coordinate system to a basic coordinate system, based on the rotational position data stored in registers (39a, 39b) of an .alpha.-axis and .beta.-axis exhibiting the attitude of the nozzle. A coordinate conversion means (37) converts movement commands (.DELTA.xh, .DELTA.yh and .DELTA.zh) on the hand coordinate system to amounts of movement (.DELTA.x, .DELTA.y and .DELTA.z) on the basic coordinate system, by using the conversion matrix, and moves the nozzle. With this arrangement, the nozzle can be simply moved without changing the distance between the nozzle and the machining surface of a workpiece. Further, the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece can be adjusted by moving the nozzle perpendicularly with respect to the machining surface.

A paint robot system includes a paint spray gun configured to spray paint onto a workpiece. The paint spray gun has a nozzle where the paint exits the paint spray gun. A robot arm moves the paint spray gun relative to the workpiece. A processor module receives a color input relating to a color of paint for the workpiece. The processor module determines a paint spray gun distance based on the color input, where different colors have different paint spray gun distances. The processor module controls the robot arm to position the nozzle at the paint spray gun distance.

A robotic machine includes a machine tool removably supported in a mount for following a programmable path over a workpiece. A calibration pointer includes a housing configured like the tool for being supported in the mount, and a laser is affixed in the housing for emitting a laser beam at the workpiece. In a method of operation, the laser beam is projected from the laser in a focused spot at the workpiece at an offset therefrom. The spot permits accurate programming of the machine without contacting the workpiece.
