摘要:
In a robot apparatus comprising a robot mechanical unit and a robot controller, the robot apparatus does not need a connecting cable for connecting the robot mechanical unit to the robot controller. The robot mechanical unit includes a connector for receiving a control signal and outputting a sensor signal, in addition to an arm and a drive unit. The robot controller includes a circuit for controlling the robot mechanical unit, a servo amplifier, and a connector capable of being directly coupled with the connector of the robot mechanical unit. Further, the robot controller is installed at a location adjacent to the robot mechanical unit and within a dead space of an operating area of the robot mechanical unit.

An emergency robot shutdown circuit reliably stops a movable component of a robot which has suffered an overtravel condition. The emergency robot shutdown circuit has three relays, and detects an overtravel condition of the robot with a dog located in a limit position of a normal operation range of the movable component of the robot to command an emergency shutdown of the robot. The second relay holds an overtravel signal which is outputted from a detecting circuit. A switching transistor is connected parallel to a make contact of the second relay, and an overtravel cancel switch is connected parallel to another make contact of the second relay. The base of the switching transistor is supplied with an overtravel unlatching pulse in synchronism with the closing of the overtravel cancel switch. The third relay, which is connected in series with the other make contact of the second relay, has three make contacts which make up a power cutoff circuit. These three make contacts are turned off only when the third relay is de-energized.

A circuit for supplying/interrupting power to robots in a robot control system which controls two robots by use of one controller. This circuit for supplying/interrupting power to robots includes a common power interrupting circuit, which simultaneously interrupts power supplies to two robots, and power interrupting circuits for individual robots, which individually interrupt power supplies to individual robots. When a common cutoff switch circuit in the common power interrupting circuit is operated on the basis of an emergency stop signal or an alarm signal, two relays are deenergized at the same time, thereby simultaneously interrupting power supply to two robots. When one of the cutoff switch circuits in the power interrupting circuit for each robot is operated by an emergency stop signal or an alarm signal, only one corresponding relay is deenergized, thereby interrupting power supply to one appropriate robot.

An emergency stop circuit of a teaching operation panel by which the teaching operation panel can be connected to and disconnected from a robot control device under predetermined conditions and the operation of a robot is not stopped even if the teaching operation panel is disconnected from the robot control device. When the robot, which has already been taught and is automatically operated, comes into contact with a connection cable between the teaching operation panel and the robot control device and disconnects the teaching operation panel from the robot control device, the emergency stop function of the robot is effected. When, however, the teaching operation panel is disconnected from a port while a connecting/disconnecting switch is turned ON, the emergency stop function of the robot is not effected. With this arrangement, the teaching operation panel can be disconnected from the robot control device while the robot is automatically operated.

A robot controller (10) includes a VGA controller (11) which transmits 15-bit image data at cycles of 25 MHZ. A code converter (12) converts 15-bit image data into 20-bit image data and transmits, to a driver (13), 10-bit image data at cycles of 50 MHZ. The driver (13) converts image data into serial data, and then transmits the serial data to a twisted pair line (30). Image data received by a receiver (21) of a display unit (20) is, by a code converter (22), converted into 15-bit data and transmitted to a liquid crystal display (23) at cycles of 25 MHZ. The driver (13) and the receiver (21) have a phase lock circuit adapted to Fibre Channel (500 Mbps) and arranged for phasing the both with each other.

A holding member is provided in a gap between a plurality of elements of a unit in a non-usage state to maintain a relative position between the plurality of elements, and is removed from the gap to put the unit into a usage state. The holding member includes an attaching portion, a filament, a panel, and a block. The attaching portion is inserted in the gap between the plurality of elements. The attaching portion includes a first parallel portion, a second parallel portion, and a connecting portion to connect one end of the first parallel portion with one end of the second parallel portion. One end of the filament is attached to the attaching portion. The panel is attached to another end of the filament. The block connects another end of the first parallel portion with another end of the second parallel portion.

When two or more sheets of images, which have been read from two or more sheets of originals are printed on a single sheet of first printing paper, original information related to the originals is stored into an IC chip attached to the first printing paper. Thereafter, when a user desires to reproduce the originals by using this first printing paper, the original information stored in the IC chip is read therefrom. Based on the read original information, the images read from the originals are printed respectively in the same sizes as those of the respective originals.

An image having no secrecy is printed on a non-secret information display area of an original paper, whereas an image having secrecy, which should be originally printed, is not printed on a secret image display area. When the original paper is copied on a printing paper, an image read from the original paper is printed on a secret image display area, whereas a secret image is printed on a non-secret information display area only when an access operation to the secret image is authenticated.

Information indicating an area of an image and information indicating attributes of the image have been stored in an IC chip attached to an original paper. When a copying apparatus performs a character recognition process operation with respect to an image displayed on the original paper, the copying apparatus reads the information related to the area of the image and the information related to the attribute of this area from the IC chip attached to this original paper. Then the copying apparatus separates an area where a character is displayed therefrom. The copying apparatus executes the character recognition process operation with respect to the image of the separated area.
