摘要:
An industrial robot that uses a simulated force vector to allow a work piece held by the robot end effector to be mated with a work piece whose location and orientation is not precisely known to the robot. When the end effector makes contact with the location and orientation in which the other work piece is held the robot provides a velocity command to minimize the force of the contact and also provides a search pattern in all directions and orientations to cause the end effector to bring the work piece it is holding in contact with the other work piece. The search pattern and the velocity command are continued until the two work pieces mate.

The present invention pertains to a process and a system for controlling the movements of an axis on program-controlled machines, especially industrial robots, comprising a position control unit and/or a velocity control unit and/or a power control unit. The loads acting on the axis from the outside during the operation are measured by one or several sensors. The load signal is fed back regeneratively in the sense of an increase in the position control variance and sent to the summation point of the position and/or velocity control unit. To increase or decrease the mechanical flexibility of the axis, a controllable amplifying or attenuating device is provided. The sensors may have different designs, corresponding to the loads to be measured. They are preferably directly associated with the axes.

A robotic lead trimmer employing a sensor probe guided over a printed wiring board by a robot to determine the contour of a printed wiring board and a lead trimming element guided by the robot to automatically follow the determined contour of the board during lead trimming to achieve tight trimming tolerances. The sensor probe in conjunction with a fixed sensor is employed to determine an offset factor related to dimensional variations in the lead trimming element in order to impart additional accuracy to the lead trimming operation. An air ionizer and blower are utilized to neutralize static charge and remove debris. The robotic lead trimmer may be enclosed and utilized in conjunction with a tooling shuttle which receives a printed wiring board and transfers it to within the working envelope of the robot.
