摘要:
A nozzle system for laser machining capable of maintaining an interference region of a robot in a teaching operation to be substantially the same as that in a laser machining operation. An optical fiber supporting unit is attached to a nozzle body unit having laser beam converging lens for performing a laser machining operation. An optical fiber for supplying a laser beam is connected to an optical fiber connector on the optical fiber supporting unit. A laser machining is performed by combination of the nozzle body unit and the optical fiber supporting member attached to a distal end of a robot arm. In a teaching operation, a camera supporting unit (dummy nozzle) having substantially the same dimension as the nozzle body unit and supporting a camera at a predetermined position is used in place of the optical fiber supporting unit and the nozzle body unit. Alternatively, the nozzle body unit may be used commonly in combination with the optical fiber supporting unit in the machining operation and with the camera supporting unit in the teaching operation. A visual sensor using projection of a spot beam or slit beams may be adopted.

If a machining program is reproduced in a robot controller and a robot is moved on a machining route, then a detection signal of a distance sensor is fetched through a distance sensor amplifier, and tracer control is carried out so as to keep a distance between a laser machining head and a workpiece at a predetermined value. In an acceleration and decoration processing in a corner, a restriction means that restricts a maximum acceleration and a maximum jerk is used to control an acceleration and a jerk of the robot not to exceed respective predetermined values, and prevents generation of a vibration when the laser machining head passes through the corner.

When a laser beam is irradiated from a laser welding torch onto a surface of a welding target workpiece, a plasma is generated. This plasma is introduced to an optical fiber, extracted by a filter-added half-silvered mirror, branched by half-silvered mirrors and a reflecting mirror, split by a bandpass filter, and detected by an optical sensor. Using a detection result of the optical sensor, a control for keeping the intensity or the temperature of a plasma beam constant is exercised.

A processing system for stably processing a workpiece even if the shape of the workpiece changes every production lot of the workpiece, or by a change of the workpiece. The distance between the workpiece and an end of a nozzle of a laser machining head is measured by a distance sensor. A data correcting value ΔZ′mn is calculated using a measured distance ΔZrn at each teaching point and a set gap value ΔZs (step S6-S15). By using ΔZ′mn, the data of the teaching points are corrected to new data of the teaching points of the program (step S16-S19). The distance between the workpiece and the end of the nozzle of the laser machining head does not become larger because the teaching points of the processing program are corrected every time when the workpiece is processed. The interference between the workpiece and the head may be prevented and the processing may be stably implemented because the amount of correction becomes smaller when the position of the head is corrected during the processing.

An operation line searching method in which an operation start position is automatically approached and a robot/sensor system having such function of detecting the operation line. A robot having a laser sensor and an operation tool attached to a distal end thereof approaches an operation start position Q1 using various searching motion path patterns (a) to (d). Pattern (a) is determined to avoid an obstacle F or an obstructively-shaped portion G. The path thereof, for example, can be determined by specifying a coordinate axis of a coordinate system w. Patterns (b) and (c) are carried out by teaching, to the robot, data for determining the paths thereof in order. Pattern (d) is carried out in the following manner: an initial parameter , an angle of rotation and a norm increase factor are specified as parameters, and at the time when incremental travel quantity of a (i+1)th occurrence (i=0, 1, 2, . . . ) Should be obtained, it is obtained by calculating − , where the vector is obtained from the last obtained vector based on the illustrated relationship (the angle of rotation and the norm growth factor).
摘要:
A laser machining apparatus with a simplified laser beam transmitting network. Respective laser beams form laser generators LS#11 to LS#25 divided into groups of G1 and G2 are aggregated to fiber-optic cables H1 and H2 by confluence devices HC1 and HC2 and transmitted to a most upstream laser beam outlet OP1. The laser beams are further aggregated to a fiber-optic cable H3 and distributed to a branch fiber-optic cable HH1 by the laser beam outlet OP1, and then distributed by laser beam outlet OP2 to OP8 to branch fiber-optic cables HH2 to HH8. The laser beams distributed to branch fiber-optic cables are focused by the machining tools TL1 to TL8 attached to robots RB1 to RB8 for laser machining. By controlling output levels of the laser generators with different oscillation wavelengths and different polarization characteristics, blend ratio of the laser beams can be adjusted. Distribution ratios of the laser beams at the laser beam outlets OP1 to OP8 are adjustable.

Provided is a correction data checking system, for robots, which makes it easy to reveal the cause of a machining defect. A laser machining head and a distance sensor or a sensor for detecting a work line are attached to the distal end of a robot arm. A robot is driven based on a teaching program, and a copying control technique is implemented based on information sent from the sensor so that the distance between the laser machining head and a workpiece will be equal to a set value. A path of taught positions of the laser machining head and a path of actual positions thereof are displayed in comparison with each other on a display of a teaching console or the like. Moreover, the difference between the taught position and actual position is calculated and displayed. As both the position commanded by the teaching program and the actual position derived from the copying control technique are displayed, if a machining defect occurs, the machining defect is checked to see if it is a problem attributable to the sensor or a problem attributable to the workpiece or a jig. The cause of the machining defect is then revealed. Consequently, the cause of a machining defect can be quickly revealed and dealt with at a working site.
摘要:
A control system of a welding robot for performing realtime tracking using a laser sensor in which a welding operation in passing a tack welded portion is rationally coped with. An arc welding torch and a laser sensor LS are mounted on a robot hand. A tool center point is set to coincide with an aimed position of a distal end of a welding wire. The tool center point is positioned at an advancing end of a formed bead B and immediately before a tack welded portion A1. The tool center point 4 is also positioned on a welding reference line (P.sub.1 .fwdarw. . . . .fwdarw.P.sub.6). A bright line 5 is formed between points 51 and 52 by a laser beam emitted from the laser sensor LS with a deflection range SC. A detected point SA is positioned at an edge of the tack welded portion A1 on the bright line 5 (there may be found no detected point). A deviation of the detected point SA from the proper welding reference line is determined based on a direction of a robot path immediately before the detected point. In such case, a detection substitutive point Q is determined based on the robot path immediately before the detected point and the TCP is moved toward the determined point. Detection substitutive points following the point Q are successively determined until the tack welded portion A1 has been passed, and the robot follows a path along a series of the detection substitutive points.
