<p>PURPOSE:To enable a complex working process to be realized with ease by adjusting the timing of robot action demand signal depending on the progress condition of a working system consisting of a plurality of NC machine tools whereby sending the signal to the robot side. CONSTITUTION:A lathe 4, a machining center (MC) 7, and a robot 1 are controlled by a control device 13 through 15 respectively wherein information on the work progress of a whole system is inputted into a system control device 16. And programs for eight kinds of unit action which accomplish loading/ unloading to both the lathe 3 and MC 7 by way of a work-feeder 3, a positioning table 6, a contrarotation device 5 and the like, is provided to this robot control device 15 for ten kinds of works. And upon receiving a signal requiring a robot action for each NC machine, the system control device 16 adjusts timing depending on the progress condition for sending a signal to the robot 1 side via the control device 15. Owing to this constitution, any working process which is so complex that the kind of works handled is changed, can be dealt with easily.</p> |
