ORIGIN ADJUSTMENT METHOD FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOT

摘要

An industrial robot has a first member, a positioning member attached to the first member, a second member having a contact point that comes into contact with the positioning member and rotating relative to the first member, and a first joint coupling the first member and the second member. A prompt is displayed to urge the positioning member to be in a state where it can come to be in contact with the contact point. When the positioning member can come into contact with the contact point, the second member rotates at the first joint relative to the first member. The position of the second member when the contact of the contact point of the second member with the positioning member is detected is stored as the origin. This method enables to prevent misinstallation of the positioning member, so that burden on an operator in operation is reduced.
