Abstract:
A workpiece assembling apparatus includes: a conveyor configured to convey a workpiece; a plurality of robots arranged along the conveyor, the plurality of robots being configured to perform a same work on a workpiece conveyed by the conveyor; a parts-supplier configured to supply parts to the plurality of robots; and a controller configured to control the robots and the conveyor, wherein the controller controls the robot disposed at a downstream side to perform an unfinished work of the robot disposed at an upstream side in addition to a predetermined work in a case where the robot disposed at the upstream side has not completed a predetermined work.
Abstract:
A manufacturing system includes: a plurality of processing devices capable of outputting processing information including a processing detail performed to a work; a processing tool capable of outputting backup information including a processing detail performed to the work; and a management device configured create management information by associating the processing information and the backup information with identification information identifying the work.
Abstract:
A crane tool includes: a hook portion for hanging a work, attached to one arm section in a first robot arm having a base, a plurality of arm sections connected to the base in series, and a plurality of joints adapted to swing the arm sections, respectively, the crane tool; a counterweight portion; and a joint portion connecting the hook portion to the counterweight portion. The counterweight portion is located such that a joint swinging the arm section to which the hook portion is attached is interposed between the hook portion and the counterweight portion in substantially a horizontal direction.
Abstract:
A robot system according to one aspect of an embodiment includes a robot and a control unit. The robot performs multi-axis operations based on instructions on the operations from the control unit. The control unit causes a power source to supply power to a partially fabricated item that includes a movable member that is able to be controlled by receiving power, and instructs the robot to perform an operation of attaching a predetermined member to the partially fabricated item while controlling the movable member.
Abstract:
A workpiece assembly system includes a first manual station in which a person performs an operation of providing a first component set onto a pallet; a first robot station in which a robot performs an operation of assembling the first component set into a workpiece on a surface plate; and a conveyor that conveys the pallet and the surface plate from the first robot station to a subsequent manual station. After the robot has removed the first component set from the pallet and before the robot finishes the operation in the first robot station, the pallet is conveyed to the subsequent manual station prior to the surface plate.
