Abstract:
A robot control device includes a parameter estimating unit that causes a robot to operate under estimation conditions input by a user and that estimates a load parameter of a load attached to the robot, a torque calculating unit that calculates operation torques of respective joints of the robot caused to operate during the estimation of the load parameter, and an alert unit that issues an alert to the user when the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the operation torques is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
A control device includes an estimated torque calculation unit, an actual torque calculation unit, a torque comparison unit, and a stop unit. The estimated torque calculation unit calculates an estimated torque for maintaining the posture of an automatic machine based on preset load information when the machine is in a resting state in which its posture is maintained by a torque applied by a servomotor. The actual torque calculation unit calculates an actual torque actually applied to maintain the posture. The torque comparison unit compares an error between the estimated and actual torques with a predetermined first threshold. The stop unit stops subsequent operations of the automatic machine when the error is greater than the first threshold.
Abstract:
To record the load exerted on a robot according to changes over time without changing the environment and configuration under which the robot is used. A robot system including a robot, a robot control device that controls the robot, and a sensor that is able to detect information about a force exerted on the robot, the robot control device including a record processing unit that stores a first reference load profile in a storage unit, and a determination unit that determines at least the presence or absence of an external force exerted on the robot according to the first reference load profile and the load exerted on the robot detected by the sensor, and the record processing unit storing the load in the storage unit as a second reference load profile depending on the state of the external force.
Abstract:
A robot including a movable portion, a controller, and a storage unit that stores maintenance timing information regarding at least one of the movable portion and the controller. The controller performs predetermined notification processing based on a comparison between elapsed time information and the maintenance timing information. The movable portion and the control apparatus are placed in a predetermined work site on which a second robot is installed. The controller corrects the maintenance timing information or the elapsed time information using information received from the second robot.
Abstract:
A control apparatus in an automaton that operates in cooperation with a peripheral device, includes: an operating time accumulator regarding the output time of a control signal to the peripheral device or the output time of an operating signal from the peripheral device as operating time and determining cumulative operating time by adding up the operating times; a time-at-inspection recorder recording the cumulative operating time when inspection is performed as the cumulative operating time at inspection; a cumulative operating time comparator comparing the difference between the current cumulative operating time and the cumulative operating time at inspection, the cumulative operating time from the latest inspection, or the cumulative operating time after inspection, with a preset inspection interval; and, a maintenance request output unit outputting a maintenance request to the outside when the cumulative operating time after inspection obtained as a result of the comparison exceeds the preset inspection interval.
