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.

A laser processing robot including a manipulator; a laser processing tool attached to the manipulator; an optical fiber for transmitting a laser beam to the laser processing tool; and a line passage formed inside the arm section to accommodate the optical fiber. The arm section includes a first member disposed fixedly about a first control axis and a second member supported on the first member rotatably about the first control axis. The line passage is formed continuously within the first and second members, an optical fiber inlet port thereof being provided in the first member and an optical fiber outlet port thereof being provided in the wrist portion. The laser processing tool includes an attachment section attached to the wrist portion rotatably about a second control axis perpendicular to the first control axis; a nozzle section extending from the attachment section and provided with a laser beam passage extending to intersect the second control axis; and a reflecting section arranged within the attachment section for reflecting a laser beam emitted from the optical fiber to direct it toward the laser beam passage. The emitting end face of the optical fiber is positioned between the optical fiber outlet port and the reflecting section.

Cable distribution and support equipment for a sensor, in a robot system including a robot and the sensor attached to the wrist region of the robot, to lay a sensor cable connected to the sensor in the robot. The cable distribution and support equipment includes a sensor cable comprised of a signal cable and a power cable; an umbilical member comprised of at least one of a control cable of a drive motor of a wrist axis of a robot, a control cable of a hand attached to the robot and a pneumatic-mechanism driving compressed-air hose; and a protective tube through which the sensor cable and the umbilical member are passed. The protective tube is configured to be laid through a cavity formed in a hollow forearm of the robot. The signal cable may be comprised of an image signal cable and a control signal cable, provided for a visual sensor. Alternatively, the signal cable may be comprised of a detection-data transmission signal cable of a strain gauge provided for a force sensor.
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.

A complex machine tool has a single frame having a chip collecting space at a center portion thereof, first and second spindle stocks on the frame, relatively free to move and drive in a Z axis direction and holding the chip collecting space therebetween, workpiece spindles on the spindle stocks free to rotate and drive and facing each other, and tool rests. The tool rests have turrets and can assume various kinds of movement. Complicated and varied types of machining can be performed combining the rotation control of the workpiece spindles and the spindle stocks.

A method of and apparatus for searching for a fiducial point of machining in relation to the C-axis in a lathe capable of carrying out machining by C-axis control based on the C-axis origin. In a machining work applied to a workpiece having a C-axis-value-prescribed configuration whose C-axis value in relation to the fiducial point of machining is prescribed by a first angle, and second and third angles between the C-axis origin and each point of measurement located on the opposite sides of the C-axis-value-prescribed configuration facing the C-axis are measured, the angle between the fiducial point of machining and the C-axis origin is obtained on the basis of the second and third angles measured and the first angle prescribed between the C-axis-value-prescribed configuration and the fiducial point of machining, thus detecting the fiducial point of machining with respect to the workpiece having the C-axis-value-prescribed configuration.
