    摘要: An articulated industrial robot has an articulated horizontal arm assembly which includes horizontal arms (20), a vertically movable shaft (20) mounted on the extremity of the horizontal arm assembly, and a motor for driving the vertically movable shaft. When directly teaching motions to the vertically movable shaft through a direct teaching operation by an operator, the current control unit of a motor control unit for driving the motor for driving the vertically movable shaft is disconnected from a signal line connected to a robot control unit, and a torque calculating circuit is provided for deciding a motor torque corresponding to the sum of the weight of the vertically movable shaft and the respective variable weights of an end effector attached to the lower end of the vertically movable shaft. A workpiece held by the end effector is connected to the current control unit to compensate the load torque of the vertically movable shaft with the torque of the motor so that the operator is able to carry out the direct teaching operation while substantially no load is imposed on the operator.

    摘要: An arm structure for an industrial robot, comprising a first robot arm (16) supported on top of a vertical robot shaft (14), and a second robot arm (20) pivotally joined through a transmission-reduction gear box (18) to the free end of the first robot arm (16). A plurality of coupling bolts (22) are extended through the interior of the first robot arm (16), each coupling bolt (22) has one end (22b) fastened to the flange (18b) of the transmission-reduction gear box (18) and the other end (22a) projecting from and fastened to the rear end of the first robot arm (16). Fastening nuts (24) each engage at least one end (22a or 22b) of each coupling bolt (22) to couple the first robot arm (16) and the transmission-reduction gear box (18) so as to preload the first robot arm (16) by a compressive force.

    摘要: An industrial robot of the articulated arm type comprises a movable robot body (11) arranged on a base (10). An upper arm (13) having root and tip portions is rotatably pivoted to the robot body (11) at the root portion thereof. A forearm (16) having rear and front ends is rotatably pivoted to the tip portion of the upper arm (13) at a portion between the rear and front ends. Preferably, a wrist assembly (20) includes two moving elements (21,22) which are rotatable about different axes in relation to the front end of the forearm (16). The moving elements (21,22) of the wrist assembly (20) are rotated about the corresponding axes by means of wrist drive units (27, 28), respectively. The wrist drive units (27, 28) include first sprockets (29, 36), respectively, each rotatably arranged in the rear end of the forearm (16). Drive motors (31, 37), each rotating the first sprockets (33, 39), are arranged on the rear end of the forearm (16 ), respectively. Second sprockets (33, 39) are operatively coupled with the wrist assembly (20) and arranged in the front end of the forearm (16). Rotational movements of the first sprockets (29, 36) are transmitted through wrapping connectors (34, 45) to the second sprockets (33, 39), respectively. The wrapping connectors (34, 45) are of endless assemblies which include chains (46, 47) and rods (48, 49), respectively.

    摘要: An adaptive proportional-plus-integral control system for controlling a robot or a machine tool which is subject to large load variation. The PI control system comprises a speed control loop and a pre-compensator provided in the speed control loop. The pre-compensator is equivalent to a system which is the combination of a reference model and an inverse system of a servomotor, and has adaptivity. Since the pre-compensator is incorporated into the speed control loop, robust control can be made even if the inertia of a load is largely variable.
