    摘要: An industrial robot having a plurality of axes drivable by respective servomotors is stopped in operation after detecting a collision of the industrial robot with foreign matter. The monitoring of a position error of a servomotor for the axis with respect to which the collision is detected is stopped (S11), and the speed command for that axis is set to "0" (S12). A reverse torque is generated (S13) to decelerate and stop the servomotor. After elapse of a predetermined period of time (S14), the monitoring of a position error is resumed (S15). If the position error exceeds a predetermined value (S31), then an alarm is activated (S32). Then, currents supplied to all the servomotors are cut off (S33), thus stopping the operation of the robot in a short period of time.

    摘要: A heat eliminator intercepts a heat transmission in a laser robot which has a robot base (12), a robot arm (16) joined for swing motion to a robot swivel post (14) set upright on the robot base (12), a laser beam projecting unit (20) attached to an extreme end of the robot arm (16), and a drive motor (Mv) for driving the robot arm (16) for a swing motion through a precision transmission mechanism (30, 32, 34) inserted between the robot swivel post and the robot arm, from the drive motor to the precision transmission mechanism. The heat eliminator is provided with a bracket member (26) arranged between the precision transmission mechanism (30, 32, 34) and the drive motor (Mv) with one end in contact with the end surface of the drive motor on the side of the output shaft thereof and the other end in contact with the precision transmission mechanism, and an annular cooling water passage (50) formed in the bracket member (26). Cooling water is supplied into the annular cooling water passage (50) formed in the bracket member (26) from a cooling water source (70) for supplying cooling water to the laser beam conduit lines of the robot arm (16) to cool the bracket member (26) to absorb heat generated by the drive motor (Mv) by the bracket member (26), so that the heat transmission to the precision transmission mechanism (30, 32, 34) is intercepted.

    摘要: An optical distance sensor superior in measuring accuracy and simple in construction is mounted to, e.g., a welding torch of an arc welding robot. A laser beam from a laser oscillator (1) is moved on a workpiece (100) in a direction perpendicular to a weld line, with angular movement of a mirror (2). Primary reflected light, secondary reflected light and spatter light, except for arc light intercepted by a filter (5), are incident via a lens (4) on light receiving cells of a light receiving section (3) composed of a one-dimensional charge-coupled device. At scanning of the light receiving section, outputs of the light receiving cells depending on incident light quantities are successively sent, and data specifying those light receiving cells which generate predetermined level outputs are written in one of memory buffers (12, 13). The light-receiving-cell output is applied to a peak detection circuit (18) via an analog switch (17), only when data indicating that the light receiving cell output in the preceding scanning period is at the predetermined level is read from the other memory buffer, to thereby eliminate the spatter light.
