Abstract:
A mobile collaborative robot includes a force sensor which is provided on a robot support on a carriage, a robot information acquisition unit which acquires robot information including posture information of the robot main body and load information of a load acting on the robot main body, a force calculation unit which calculates the external force acting on the robot support based on the robot information, and a judgment unit which judges that the mobile collaborative robot has come into contact with a human when a difference between the external force detected by the force sensor and the external force calculated by the force calculation unit is above a predetermined value α or when a difference between the amount of change in the detected external force and the amount of change in the calculated external force is above a predetermined value α1.
Abstract:
A servomotor control device includes a servomotor control circuit for controlling an inverter such that an alternating current is supplied to a servomotor when receiving a safety signal, and for controlling the inverter such that the alternating current is not supplied to the servomotor when not receiving the safety signal, and a servomotor monitoring circuit for stopping the servomotor by stopping transmission of the safety signal to the servomotor control circuit when determining to stop the servomotor, and for stopping the servomotor by disconnecting supply of a direct current to the inverter with a power source disconnect circuit and stopping the transmission of the safety signal to the servomotor control circuit when determining that at least one of the power source disconnect circuit, the safety signal, and the servomotor control circuit is not normal.
Abstract:
A wireless teaching pendant for operating a control apparatus of a robot or a machine tool by wireless communication includes a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with the control apparatus and a transmission interval change unit for changing a transmission interval of periodic data transmitted by the wireless communication unit to the control apparatus.
Abstract:
The robot control system includes: a control device for controlling a machine; a portable wireless operation panel for performing wireless communication with the control device to control the machine; a distance measuring unit for measuring the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel; and a warning generator that emits a warning to the operator or stops the machine when the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
Abstract:
A robot controller comprises a control unit which outputs a driving command of a servo motor for robot driving, and an amplifier unit which outputs a driving signal to the servo motor in response to the driving command from the control unit. The control unit and the amplifier unit are mounted in integrally formed printed boards and are connected so as to be able to communicate with each other via the printed boards.
Abstract:
A brake drive control circuit of a servo motor which detects malfunction of a semiconductor circuit at the brake drive control circuit, that is, a brake drive control circuit which connects two semiconductor circuits in series to a brake and uses a voltage detection circuit which detects the presence of voltage which is applied to the brake by brake signals turning the semiconductor circuits on/off so as to detect test pulses in the voltage which is applied to the brake due to test pulses which are included in the brake signals and turn the semiconductor circuits off for instants during an operation for disengaging the brake and detect malfunctions of the semiconductor circuits by the detection of the test pulses.
