Assembling apparatus and production system

摘要

To enable positioning a robot arm and a workpiece with high accuracy while reducing vibrations of a camera. According to the claimed invention for this purpose, a robot station 100 includes a pedestal 103 to which robot arms 101 and 102 are fixed, a camera 106 which images an area including a working area 209 of the pedestal 103, and a booth 104 to which the camera 106 is fixed. The pedestal 103 is fixed to a floor surface, and the booth 104 is fixed to the floor surface without contacting the pedestal 103. The booth 104 is formed in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped having a short side parallel to a workpiece conveying direction T and a long side perpendicular to the workpiece conveying direction T in a plan view. In the booth 104, the length of the long side y of the booth 104 is set to not less than the sum of a maximum length by which the robot arms 101 and 102 protrude from the pedestal 103 in a direction perpendicular to the workpiece conveying direction T and the length in the direction perpendicular to the workpiece conveying direction T of the pedestal 103 in a plan view.

主权项

1. An assembling apparatus including a robot arm and a pedestal to which the robot arm is fixed, comprising:
a frame which is arranged to surround the pedestal; and a camera which is fixed at an upper portion of the frame and can image an area including a working area for the robot arm, wherein the pedestal and frame are fixed to a floor surface independently and out of contact with each other, such that vibrations caused by the movements of the robot arm are not directly transmitted to the frame, whereby the vibration of the camera can be reduced, and the frame is formed in a shape of a rectangular parallelepiped having a short side along a workpiece conveying direction in the assembling apparatus and a long side intersecting the workpiece conveying direction, length of the long side of the frame being set to be not less than the sum of a maximum length by which the robot arm protrudes from the pedestal in a direction perpendicular to the workpiece conveying direction and length in the direction perpendicular to the workpiece conveying direction of the pedestal.
