摘要： A machine has at least one actuated mechanism is remotely located from a control station. A two way real-time communication link connects the machine location with the control station. A controller at the machine location has program code that is configured to determine from data from one or more sensors at the machine location if an actual fault has occurred in the machine when the machine is performing its predetermined function and to determine for an actual fault one or more types for the fault and transmit the one or more fault types to the control station for analysis. The code in the controller is configured to be a preprogrammed trap routine specific to the machine function that is automatically executed when an error in machine operation is detected at the machine location. The controller also has a default trap routine that is executed when specific routine does not exist.

摘要： A machine such as an industrial robot operates either in a stand-alone or in-production mode to perform a number of tests on a battery object having one of several different assembly levels and packaging geometries. The machine has selectable testing programs that correspond to various combinations of object assembly levels and geometries. The machine performs the tests either by coming into contact with a predetermined location on the conductive material of the object or viewing that location. The test results are analyzed to determining if retesting is necessary. After all of the tests are completed on an object, the tested object is assigned a grade and then sorted by grade. The tested objects may be kept at the machine location or sent on for further processing based on the assigned grade. After the testing is completed on one object, the machine tests the next object to be tested.

摘要： A lead-through teaching device for an industrial robot is calibrated by moving the device to each of a predetermined number of reference poses. A controller responds to a signal from the device induced by gravity at each of the reference poses to calibrate the device to a predetermined coordinate frame. If necessary, a removable weight can be mounted to the device. The robot can hold either the tool that is to perform work on a workpiece or the workpiece. In those applications where the tool has a removable component, the lead-through teaching device can replace the removable component during its calibration to the predetermined coordinate frame.
