摘要:
A drive mechanism for an industrial robot arm, having a simple drive system, in which an extracting part of an umbilical member for a work tool is suitably positioned and a device 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 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.

摘要:
A managing structure, for an umbilical member for a work tool of a robot, 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 formed at the back of a base of a forearm. The umbilical member extends through a hollow portion of a speed reducer and is drawn from a first opening formed on the side of a first wrist element. A cable for welding current and a tube for supplying shield gas, constituting the umbilical member, are directly connected to a welding torch rotatable about a third axis. A welding wire is guided and fed by a feed roller of a wire feeder and, then, is connected to the welding wire with the cable and the tube. The feed roller is driven by a motor contained within the first wrist element.

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. 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 applicable to a wall-hanging type robot. Thereby, a structure for treating a torch cable is realized in an arc welding robot of a ceiling-suspension type/a wall-hanging type, capable of maintaining the behavior of the torch cable in a stable state as well as minimizing the interference of the torch cable with other objects.

摘要:
In a numerically controlled method of moving an object to be controlled along a predetermined locus, controlling control axes, the locus is made approximate to a spatial polynomial, a polynomial is converted into a polynomial as time function, the polynomial converted as time function is distributed to each control axis, control command in each control axis is produced on the basis of the polynomial distributed to each axis as time function, and the object to be controlled is moved along the locus, controlling each control axis on the basis of the control command. The velocity, the acceleration and the jerk of the object to be controlled can be easily obtained concerning each control axis in advance by differentiating the polynomial expressed by time function. The object to be controlled is controlled so as to move along the locus expressed by the polynomial, feeding irregularity or position shift is reduced and curved face machining at high accuracy is possible.
摘要:
A workpiece is irradiated by a laser beam scanned in an oscillating track as the workpiece is advanced along a feed path in a hardening process. Sinusoidal variations in scan velocity are offset by decreasing the laser beam power level at phases in the scanning cycles corresponding to high and low scan displacement peaks, where the scan velocity is least. The beam power is increased near the scanning center line where the scan velocity is highest. The beam energy applied per unit of area is thus equalized over the scanning cycle. The workpiece temperature can be sampled at regular phases by a non-contact temperature sensor in the optical path, and used to control beam power versus phase in a subsequent scanning cycle. Alternatively or in addition, a sinusoidal beam power pattern can be stored and used to offset scan velocity variations as a function of phase.
