摘要： An apparatus for limiting range of motion of an industrial robot in accordance with the invention includes an indicating section (7) for indicating e.g. angles of rotation provided on a stationary side (1) of the swivel portion of an axis about which swiveling motion is possible. A range limiting member (6) having a dog and a stopper is movably disposed on the indicating section (7). When the industrial robot attempts to rotate beyond a stipulated range of rotation during operation, a limit member (81) provided on a movable side (2) of the axis portion contacts the dog (61) on the stationary side (1) to detect overtravel, whereby a warning is issued to the effect that the stipulated range of rotation has been exceeded. When the robot attempts to rotate further due to inertia, a shock absorber (82) strikes a stopper mechanism (62) to prevent excessive rotation.

摘要： An apparatus for setting an industrial robot at the standard position comprises a block (19) to be measured, which is attached to a top end portion (18) of a wrist of the industrial robot, and a supporting member (23) for the measurement, which is attached to a fixing base (11) of the industrial robot. The block has three planes (20, 21, 22), orthogonal to one another, to be measured, and the block is positioned to the top end portion of the wrist so that the three planes to be measured are set at predetermined positions relative to the top end portion of the wrist. The supporting member has three frames (24, 25, 26) orthogonal to one another, and the supporting member is positioned relative to the fixing base so that the three frames take predetermined positions relative to three-axis orthogonal coordinates predetermined on the basis of the fixing base. By a plurality of dial gauges (27 through 32; 37 through 42), the positions of the planes of the block are measured. The dial gauges display predetermined values only when the planes to be measured of the block are set at predetermined positions relative to the frames of the supporting member.

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.

摘要： The feedback gain for motor control for a control system in which the inertia of a load is greatly variable is adjusted. First, a feedback gain (K1) is determined. The value of feedback gain is calculated from a servomotor itself or the like, and selected so that the control loop will not oscillate (S1). A feed-forward gain (K) is determined according to a learning process with the feedback gain (K1) (S2). Then, a feedback gain (K1) is calculated from the feed-forward gain (K) (S3). Thereafter, a feed-forward gain (K) is determined again according to a learning process based on the feedback gain (S4). The second feed-forward gain (K) and the feedback gain (K1) are used to establish a control system. In this manner, a control system having an optimum feed-forward gain and an optimum feedback gain can be established.
