Abstract:
To provide a robot system capable of ensuring safety while giving consideration to the occurrence of a trouble in image capture means. A robot system with a camera for monitoring a robot comprises: current position model generation means that generates a current position model for the robot based on current position data about the robot and robot model data about the robot; simulation image generation means that generates a simulation image of the robot viewed from the direction of the camera based on set position data about the camera, set position data about the robot, and the current position model; detection means that compares the simulation image and a monitoring image acquired from the camera to detect the robot in the monitoring image; and safety ensuring means that ensures the safety of the robot system if the detection means does not detect the robot in the monitoring image.
Abstract:
A system for detecting and displaying an external force applied to a robot. Magnitude and direction of the detected external force are displayed by an image for visual and intuitive understanding. A robot system includes a robot; a detection section for detecting an external force applied to the robot; a conversion section for converting magnitude and direction of the external force detected by the detection section into a coordinate value of a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system; an image generating section for generating a force model image representing the magnitude and direction of the external force by a graphic, with use of the coordinate value obtained by the conversion section; and a display section for three-dimensionally displaying the force model image generated by the image generating section.
Abstract:
A cell controller includes a first communication unit which receives a task program and signal setting information stored in each manufacturing machine from this manufacturing machine, a stop detection unit which refers to the task program and the signal setting information to detect whether a production facility has stopped operation, and a stop cause identification unit which analyzes the task program and the signal setting information to identify the manufacturing machine that has caused the operation stop of the production facility, and this cause. Such a cell controller can detect whether a production facility including manufacturing machines has stopped operation, and automatically identify the manufacturing machine that has caused this operation stop, and this cause.
Abstract:
A fault diagnostic device comprises an arithmetic processing device configured to judge a fault on the basis of an image captured by the camera. The arithmetic processing device includes an imaging command part configured to transmit a command for capturing the image of a diagnosis portion and a judgement part configured to judge whether or not the diagnosis portion has the fault. A storage part stores a reference image when the diagnosis portion is in a normal state. The imaging command part transmits an imaging command so as to capture the image of the diagnosis portion after changing a position and a posture of the robot. The judgement part compares the image of the diagnosis portion captured by the camera with the reference image and judges the fault in the diagnosis portion.
Abstract:
A robot system comprises an intrusion detector which detects that a person has entered into a monitoring area established around a robot, an installation table which supports the robot, a light emitting device which brightens a surface of the installation table, and a control device which receives a signal outputted by the intrusion detector and controls the light emitting device. The control device causes the light emitting device to emit light when it is detected that the person has entered into the monitoring area.
Abstract:
A robot system including robot control devices, a network, and a mode changing device which switches between an automatic operation mode and teaching mode. In the state where the mode changing device selects the automatic operation mode, drive power is supplied to all of the robots regardless of the state of the enable device. In the state where the mode changing device selects the teaching mode, when the enable device does not permit operation of at least two robots, the drive power of all of the robots is cut.
