摘要:
An operation line searching method in which an operation start position is automatically approached and a robot/sensor system having such function of detecting the operation line. A robot having a laser sensor and an operation tool attached to a distal end thereof approaches an operation start position Q1 using various searching motion path patterns (a) to (d). Pattern (a) is determined to avoid an obstacle F or an obstructively-shaped portion G. The path thereof, for example, can be determined by specifying a coordinate axis of a coordinate system w. Patterns (b) and (c) are carried out by teaching, to the robot, data for determining the paths thereof in order. Pattern (d) is carried out in the following manner: an initial parameter , an angle of rotation and a norm increase factor are specified as parameters, and at the time when incremental travel quantity of a (i+1)th occurrence (i=0, 1, 2, . . . ) Should be obtained, it is obtained by calculating − , where the vector is obtained from the last obtained vector based on the illustrated relationship (the angle of rotation and the norm growth factor).

摘要:
A nozzle system for laser machining capable of maintaining an interference region of a robot in a teaching operation to be substantially the same as that in a laser machining operation. An optical fiber supporting unit is attached to a nozzle body unit having laser beam converging lens for performing a laser machining operation. An optical fiber for supplying a laser beam is connected to an optical fiber connector on the optical fiber supporting unit. A laser machining is performed by combination of the nozzle body unit and the optical fiber supporting member attached to a distal end of a robot arm. In a teaching operation, a camera supporting unit (dummy nozzle) having substantially the same dimension as the nozzle body unit and supporting a camera at a predetermined position is used in place of the optical fiber supporting unit and the nozzle body unit. Alternatively, the nozzle body unit may be used commonly in combination with the optical fiber supporting unit in the machining operation and with the camera supporting unit in the teaching operation. A visual sensor using projection of a spot beam or slit beams may be adopted.

A laser machining apparatus with a simplified laser beam transmitting network. Respective laser beams form laser generators LS#11 to LS#25 divided into groups of G1 and G2 are aggregated to fiber-optic cables H1 and H2 by confluence devices HC1 and HC2 and transmitted to a most upstream laser beam outlet OP1. The laser beams are further aggregated to a fiber-optic cable H3 and distributed to a branch fiber-optic cable HH1 by the laser beam outlet OP1, and then distributed by laser beam outlet OP2 to OP8 to branch fiber-optic cables HH2 to HH8. The laser beams distributed to branch fiber-optic cables are focused by the machining tools TL1 to TL8 attached to robots RB1 to RB8 for laser machining. By controlling output levels of the laser generators with different oscillation wavelengths and different polarization characteristics, blend ratio of the laser beams can be adjusted. Distribution ratios of the laser beams at the laser beam outlets OP1 to OP8 are adjustable.

A plurality of laser generators are provided to be environmentally separated from a machining station, and temperature, humidity, vibration, cleanliness and the like are detected by a sensor, and displayed. When an abnormal environment is detected, machining operation is stopped immediately or after a predetermined time elapsed. The laser generators are grouped according to each machining tool, and fiber-optic cable switching devices FC3 and FC4 are arranged for each group. By the switchover of the laser generator, and the selective connection of a fiber-optic cable by using the fiber-optic cable switching device, the degree of freedom in selecting the laser generator and the fiber-optic cable is produced. The degree of freedom is utilized according to the abnormality of the laser generator, the abnormality of the fiber-optic cable, the type of machining work, and the like, by which a machining apparatus in which the occurrence of a partial failure does not lead to long-term shutdown of a manufacturing line can be obtained.

摘要:
If a machining program is reproduced in a robot controller and a robot is moved on a machining route, then a detection signal of a distance sensor is fetched through a distance sensor amplifier, and tracer control is carried out so as to keep a distance between a laser machining head and a workpiece at a predetermined value. In an acceleration and decoration processing in a corner, a restriction means that restricts a maximum acceleration and a maximum jerk is used to control an acceleration and a jerk of the robot not to exceed respective predetermined values, and prevents generation of a vibration when the laser machining head passes through the corner.
摘要:
A device for determining an interference region of a robot, capable of determining an interference region/non-interference region and the like on an off-line layout space without difficulty. Geometric data of a robot and peripheral objects is read from a CAD system or the like to be displayed in the form of a layout display, to thereby form a cage region. An initial occupied region is found by calculating a three-dimensional position of each arm at an initial position. An operation simulation is run, and the tree-dimensional positions are repeatedly calculated, thereby finding the aggregate sum of the occupied region. After the robot is moved, a total occupied region G, an overlapping region H, a protruding region K, a non-occupied region M and the like are displayed in different colors, to thereby perform layout correction of a peripheral object, a change of the cage region, etc. It is also possible to judge the presence or absence of the overlapping region H/protruding region K and to search “a hidden non-occupied region” by way of a sectional display in which points A, B and C are designated.
摘要:
When a laser beam is irradiated from a laser welding torch onto a surface of a welding target workpiece, a plasma is generated. This plasma is introduced to an optical fiber, extracted by a filter-added half-silvered mirror, branched by half-silvered mirrors and a reflecting mirror, split by a bandpass filter, and detected by an optical sensor. Using a detection result of the optical sensor, a control for keeping the intensity or the temperature of a plasma beam constant is exercised.
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.
