    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 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: A sliding mode control method is provided capable of improving the following ability of a control system with respect to a command at the time of change in the operating condition of a machine, and preventing vibration which tends to occur by the action of a spring element of the machine at the time of change in the operating condition. The processor of a servo circuit derives position deviation (.epsilon.) and speed deviation (.epsilon.) based on a command position (.theta.r) and an actual position (.theta.), estimates an torsion amount (.epsilon.n) and torsion speed (.epsilon.n) by effecting observer processing (Steps 100 to 101), and derives a switching variable (s) (102). The processor derives each of the first to fourth terms of the switching input in dependence on the positive or negative sign of the switching variable, and the positive or negative sign of a corresponding one of the position deviation, the second derivative of the command position, the torsion amount, and the torsion speed (103 to 129), and then derives, on the basis of the switching input derived by adding the four terms together, a torque command (T) sufficient to cause the switching variable to converge on 0 (130, 131). The servo system properly follows the command even when nonlinear parameters associated with the spring element of the machine have varied, thereby preventing vibration of the machine.

The workpiece gripping hand (50) grips the uppermost workpiece (W) with the gripping fingers (54) without interference, after depressing the workpiece support rods (26) with a depressing plate (56) provided on the back side of the gripping fingers (54) so that the uppermost workpiece (W) is exposed above the upper ends of the workpiece support rods (26), and then transports the workpiece (W) to a desired position. When placing the workpiece (W) on the pallet (22) by the work gripping hand ( 50), the gripping fingers (54) release the workpiece (W) after the workpiece support rods (26) are depressed with the depressing plate (56).
