摘要:
A cooling and cleaning unit incorporated in a welding position detector having a gas introducing conduit for introducing a single flow of a cooling gas under pressure into a hermetically sealed chamber of a casing for encasing therein a sensor unit of the welding position detector in the form of a convectional flow of cooling gas circulating around the sensor unit and removing heat from the sensor unit, a check valve unit having a gas inlet and a gas outlet and permitting the cooling gas under pressure to be discharged from the hermetically sealed chamber toward an outer face of a protective window of the welding position detector in the form of cleaning gas under pressure to thereby clean the outer face of the protective window while forming a gas curtain extending over the outer face of the protective window so as to prevent welding fumes and sputter from attaching to and depositing onto the outer face of the protective window of the welding position detector.
摘要:
A weld-position detector, attached to an automatic welding machine such as a welding robot, having three independently produced indispensable units, i.e., a laser-beam projecting unit for projecting a detection laser-beam, a scanning unit for directing the detection laser-beam towards weld portions of a workpiece and scanning the detection laser-beam across the welded portions, and a light-receiving unit for detecting the detection laser-beam reflected by the workpiece to thereby detect the position of the weld portions. The weld-position detector further having a fixture provided with reference faces on which the three independent units are accurately mounted. The scanning means having a movable reflecting mirror is provided with an optical axis adjusting unit for adjusting the position and the posture of the scanning unit so as to adjust the optical axis of the detection laser-beam until the optical axis of the detection laser-beam, after being reflected from the workpiece, arrives at the light-receiving unit.

A small-locus machining apparatus is attached to the distal end of a wrist of a robot but operable independently of a robot body. First and second drives of the apparatus are mounted on a base in such a manner that respective output spindles are parallel with each other. First and second rotational arms are coupled to the output spindles through decelerators, which are directly connected to the drives, allowing rotation in a plane orthogonal to the output spindles. These rotational arms and links interconnecting the rotational arms constitute a link mechanism having, for example, five joints. A tool is attached to this link mechanism, and the rotational amounts of the first and second arms are detected to determine the coordinate position of the tool.

A laser robot having a height sensing device (13) arranged at a position very close to a laser-beam projecting machining head (9) so that the axis of the height-sensing device (13) is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machining head (9), the three-dimensional distance data representing the positional relationship between the laser projecting nozzle (9a) of the machining head (9) and the measuring end (13a) of the height-sensing device (13) being stored in advance in the robot controller (10), the longitudinal distance between the height-sensing device (13) and a starting point of laser-beam machining being automatically measured from directly above the starting point, and a longitudinal distance between the laser beam projecting nozzle (9a) of the machining head (9) and the machining starting point being corrected on the basis of the three-dimensional distance data and the longitudinal distance measured by the height sensing device (13) to thereby accurately locate the machining head at a position corresponding to the starting point for the laser machining operation.

In carrying out precision laser-beam machining by using a laser-beam machining head driven by an additional motion-axis means 8 of a laser robot unit 1, a CPU accommodated in a robot controller 10 calculates time A+B necessary for a laser beam projecting nozzle to travel a distance between a position corresponding to a position of origin OR of a machining locus and a position corresponding to a starting point E on the machining locus at a quick-feed speed, and time C necessary for the laser beam projecting nozzle to travel the same distance in a laser-beam machining mode not including quick-feed operation, compares the times A+B and C, and provides feed motors MA and MB accommodated in the additional motion-axis means 8 with an automatic quick-feed command, when the time A+B is shorter than the time C to thereby enhance an efficiency of the laser machining operation.

In a vibration wave linear motor, a vibrator stably operates with a simple and small configuration. Both ends of a movable guide member are held by shaft bearing long holes to freely oscillate, and an angle of an inclination φ occurs according to the move of the vibrator. An inner wall of an erecting part of a supporting part also serves as a stopper, and regulates the move of the vibrator in a position where the inclination of the movable guide member becomes θ>φ at the maximum. As a result, the inclination of the movable guide member is always kept to be within the range of θ>φ. A problem that the inclining movable guide member contacts a portion other than a driving contacting part is prevented.

The vibration wave linear motor of the present invention is structured comprising a driven component, a first vibrator having two or more driving contacting parts for driving the driven component in a certain predetermined direction, a second vibrator having one or more driving contacting parts for driving the driven component in the same direction as the drive by the first vibrator, a first supporting part for fixing and holding either one of the first or second vibrators, a second supporting part for holding the other of either the first or second vibrator such that swinging is possible, and a pressing component for pressing the first or second vibrator which is held by the second supporting part, such as to enable swinging, to the driven component.
摘要:
A compact and light-weight pneumatically operated screw driver providing high speed screw fastening with high operability. A rotary member rotationally driven by a pneumatic motor includes a main rotary member made from a plastic material and a sliding segment fixed to the main rotary member. A rotation slide member is axially slidably movable relative to the rotary member and is rotatable together with the rotation of the rotary member. A shut-off section is provided on which the rotation slide member is rotationally seated when the rotation slide member is moved toward the shut-off section. The rotation slide member is made from an elastic material. A sleeve like piston having a seal ring in sliding contact with a cylinder is provided. The seal ring shuts off a supply of compressed air to the pneumatic motor only by the seating of the rotation slide member onto the shut-off section.
摘要:
A vibration wave linear motor comprises a vibrator unit having two driving contacting parts which are respectively formed on top and bottom surfaces of the vibrator unit, two guide members guiding the running of the vibrator unit by sandwiching the vibrator unit in parallel with the running direction. The upper guide member is fixed to the supporting member. The lower guide member is held in shaft bearing long holes, pressed upward by coil springs within hollow convex parts. The vibrator unit self-runs and moves forward and backward between the two guide members with an ultrasonic vibration. A linking pin fixed on the side surface of the vibrator unit engages with the member to be driven, so that moving force is transmitted.
