    摘要: A robot control method for enabling a robot effectuate various operations, having load conditions which differ from one another, in accordance with optimum control conditions.A load condition, including the sum (W) of the weight of a robot hand and the weight of a workpiece, a distance (L) from the center point of the joint of the robot hand to the center of gravity of the hand and the workpiece, and a combined inertia (J) of the robot hand and the workpiece, is set for each of the robot operations and stored together with a group number indicating the load condition. To operate the robot, load condition commands, which are written in a program along with operation commands include a load condition control code and a group number. The control conditions are determined on the basis of the load conditions corresponding to the group numbers. The robot operations are then performed in accordance with the control conditions thus determined.

    摘要: An operation control apparatus for industrial robot in which a speed pattern optimum for the particular task to be performed is utilized. The operational control apparatus includes a plurality of operating program memories for storing completed operating programs compiled by a separate programming device, a speed pattern memory for storing plural speed patterns, a changeover signal generator which generates a changeover signal in response to a predetermined sensed operating parameter of the industrial robot or in response to operation of manual changeover switch, and a changeover circuit for selecting an optimum speed pattern in response to the changeover signal. Rising and falling slopes of the speed patterns can be made different from one another so that the arm of the industrial robot can be moved at a greater speed when it is not in contact with a workpiece than when it is actively manipulating a workpiece.

    摘要: Manipulator apparatus is provided wherein a number of multi-step programs for controlling movement of the manipulator arm in desired patterns of movement are available. Facilities are provided for automatically selecting any one of the programs in a random manner in respect to externally developed signals representing such programs. In a particular embodiment, the programs available control movement of the arm to perform different patterns of spot welding operations in accordance with automobile bodies randomly distributed on a production line conveyor. The control system also functions automatically to perform a spot welding operation at certain program steps in accordance with recorded spot weld control signals and without requiring a separate program step for a spot welding instruction, thereby substantially decreasing the number of program steps required to carry out a given pattern. Facilities are also provided for preventing double or multiple welds in response to a single position instruction or program step of the manipulator arm. In accordance with a further embodiment, the manipulator apparatus is arranged to select different programs in a predetermined sequence but also responds to control signals indicating the presence or absence of certain external conditions associated with the programmed operations to skip one or more programs until the external conditions are changed.
