Controlling industrial robot carrying tool - using first data describing travel path and second data describing operation position

摘要

The method employs first data describing the path of the robot and second data describing a position along the path at which the robot is to perform an operation. During the robots operation based on the first data, the operation of the fool is determined by the operation al position based on the second data. The second data are read out at each scanning or sampling cycle in order to control the tool of the robot body and these data are used to decide whether theoperational position of the tool should be switched in or not. The robot is a point-to point learning robot of the playback type. USE - For an industrial robot carrying eg. a paint spray gun that sprays point in an operation position but not in other positions.
