INDUSTRIAL ROBOT CAPABLE OF AUTOMATICALLY CHANGING OPERATING CONDITIONS DEPENDING ON ITS ATTITUDE OF INSTALLATION.

摘要

In an industrial robot system, movements of a robot (10) is taught and controlled by a robot controller (26). The controller (26) has a storage (30) including an area which contains the data of possible attitudes of the robot with respect to a reference attitude as well as the data of the operating conditions for the possible attitudes. In operation, when the data of the current attitude are input to the robot controller (26), the data of operating conditions corresponding to the input data are read from the first data storage unit (30) and are automatically loaded in a second data storage (32). Operation of the robot body (10) is then controlled depending on the operation conditions in the second data storage (32).
