摘要:
A robot system and a machining method capable of accurately and simply cutting an end of a pipe into a saddle shape and forming a hole on an outer surface thereof, and further machining a workpiece of a three-dimensional shape which does not have platelike shape. A tool unit is attached to a final axis of a moveable arm of a robot. The tool unit is provided with a first additional variable axis expanding and retracting vertically and a second additional variable axis expanding and retracting in the horizontal direction. By rotating the final axis, a cutting tool (machining nozzle of laser) at a distal end of the tool unit is turned about the final axis to cut a workpiece W of a pipe shape. By driving the first and the second additional variable axes in synchronism with rotation of the final axis, the cutting into a saddle shape and the forming of a hole are carried out. The movable arm of the robot is only for rotating the final axis and the machining accuracy is promoted.

An arc welding robot having a welding wire conduit which has a bend radius above a certain level and arranged so that disadvantageous stress is not applied to the conduit by the motion of the robot arm. A conduit for a welding wire is inserted through a hole of a robot pedestal from the rear side of the robot, is supported by a second support member arranged on the pedestal, extends near the front side of a rotating body of the robot, and is supported by a first support member on the upper part of the rotating body while having a required minimum bend radius. The conduit after passing through the first support member is introduced to the rear side of the upper arm and is connected to a connector at the rear side of a wire feeder while having the required minimum radius, whereby the conduit presents a generally S-shape.

In an umbilical member processing mechanism of a robot, a working tool managing unit umbilical member (50) for supplying at least one of the power, the signal and the material to a working tool managing unit (34), is guided from a rotary barrel in the longitudinal direction of an upper arm on a side face of the upper arm (14) located on the opposite side to the side attached to the rotary barrel (12) and then guided onto a front side (18b) of a front arm (18). Next, the working tool managing unit umbilical member (50) is connected to the working tool managing unit (34) through a side of the front arm located on the opposite side to the side on which the upper arm is attached. Further, the working tool managing unit umbilical member is connected to the working tool managing unit being relayed by an umbilical member junction portion (39) attached to a side or a front side of the front arm. Due to the foregoing, even in an arm posture in which a front arm rear portion having the working tool managing unit passes through inside the upper arm, the umbilical member or the working tool managing unit does not interfere with the upper arm.
摘要:
An arc welding device, having a simple structure, in which a welding torch does not interfere with external equipment. A Y-shaped torch cable includes first and second wire liners and a junction block having a Y-shaped liner section having two inlets connected to the wire liners and one outlet. A welding wire selectively fed from one of two wire feeders extends in the first or second wire liner and reaches the outlet of the liner section. Therefore, as one of plural kinds of welding wires may be selected and fed to a single-electrode welding torch, the plurality of welding wires being used for welding, nevertheless the welding torch does not interfere with external equipment.
摘要:
An umbilical-member managing structure for a welding torch in an arc welding robot, for laying and managing, along a manipulator, a plurality of umbilical members connected to a welding torch attached to the manipulator. The umbilical members include a welding wire fed to the welding torch, a tubular liner surrounding the welding wire, a tube for supplying an assist gas to the welding torch, and an electrical conductor for feeding a welding current to the welding torch. The arc welding robot is provided with a wire feeding device mounted on the manipulator for feeding the welding wire to the welding torch. The umbilical-member managing structure includes a flexible conduit containing the umbilical members, which includes a first connecting section provided at one longitudinal end connected to the welding torch, and a second connecting section provided at another longitudinal end connected to the wire feeding device; and a connection mechanism provided for at least one of the first and second connecting sections of the conduit, for rotatably connecting the conduit to at least one of the welding torch and the wire feeding device.

A managing structure for an umbilical member includes a flexible conduit for leading an umbilical member inserted therein from a front arm of a robot to a working tool mounted on a wrist of the robot, a first conduit mounting portion provided adjacent to the front arm, and a second conduit mounting portion provided adjacent to a point where the umbilical member is connected to the working tool. One end of the conduit is attached to the first conduit mounting portion, while the other end of the conduit is attached to the second conduit mounting portion. The conduit is laid so that a section thereof between the first conduit mounting portion and the second conduit mounting portion does not contact the body of the robot.
摘要:
An umbilical-member managing system for an industrial robot. The embodiment of the umbilical-member managing system provided in an arc welding robot serves to lay and manage, along a manipulator, a torch cable connected to a welding torch attached to the manipulator. This umbilical-member managing system includes a support unit provided on the manipulator movably toward and away from the welding torch to support the torch cable; and a biasing mechanism continually biasing the support unit on the manipulator in a direction away from the welding torch. In this arrangement, the support unit may be composed of a wire feeding device for feeding a welding wire in the torch cable toward the welding torch. A guide unit is provided on the manipulator, which can guide the wire feeding device in a direction toward and away from the welding torch.
