Abstract:
A method is disclosed for one or more users to control at least one robot in a robot work area, said work area comprising said robot, a robot controller (7a-n) and at least one tool and/or sensor for carrying out one or more movements to carry out a task, said robot being controlled by means of instructions in a robot program running in said robot controller. The method comprises receiving (51), at a distributed node (5a-n), a task program for carrying out at least part of said task based on a conversion (19) of a user command from a user (12, 12'), and sending (54) from the distributed node to said robot controller (7a-n) a robot program based on the task program with instructions for said robot (71, 81, 91) to execute one or more movements. A distributed node (5a), a central node (3), a system for carrying out the method and computer programs are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for accessing statistical analysis data on industrial devices of an industrial production line, wherein the method comprises: - integrating statistical analysis tools into the industrial devices, - generating statistical data using the integrated statistical analysis tools on the devices, - presenting the statistical analysis data on devices, resulting in access to the analyzed statistical data on the devices.
Abstract:
The invention refers to an explosion protection system for electrical apparatuses and machineries, such as manipulators or industrial robots, located in hazardous environments, i.e. environments containing explosive concentrations of inflammable gases, dusts or vapours, comprising means for applying internal pressurized air into an explosion proof enclosure and that has a purging system and electrical components, such as motors, relays, IC-boards, cables etc. The invention is achieved by, that a flow-and pressure sensor is arranged as an integrated unit and designed to stand high dynamic forces by having low inertia, balanced arrangement of moving parts and a movement guide, e.g. an axle with a support guide, with low friction.
Abstract:
The invention deals with improved reliability in safety critical control of real world objects. Examples of real world objects subject to safety control are gas/smoke/fire detection systems, drilling equipment, pipes and pipelines, distillation columns, compressors, conveyor systems, boilers and turbines. A test application includes all relevant high-level language constructs and is repeatedly executed as assembler code in an industrial controller, which CPU is subject to fault detection during on-line safety control.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for measuring the distance to an object to be worked on by a work tool, wherein the method comprises the steps of applying a voltage field to the work tool, measuring the current between the work tool and the object, comparing the current with a predefined value, which value is based on a predetermined distance between the work tool and the object, and indicating if the measured current exceeds the predefined value, which provides information that the object is within a certain distance from the work tool. The method further comprises, when the work tool is an electrostatic paint applicator, the steps of measuring the voltage of the electrostatic applicator, measuring the saturation current between the applicator and the object, determining the onset voltage where the ionization begins, which voltage is dependent on the distance to the object, calculating the actual distance to the object based on the measured voltage and current taking into account the distance dependent onset voltage. The present invention also relates to a device and a computer program product for performing the method.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a painting system comprising an industrial robot or manipulator arm arranged with a wrist section and carrying a paint applicator arranged on the robot wrist. Paint is applied by the applicator to a substantially circular or elliptical area on said surface, and the centre of the area is defined as a Tool Centre Point. The wrist section is arranged capable of moving and orienting the paint applicator. In the improved method the paint applicator is moved by said manipulator arm so that the Tool Centre Point moves along a planned path so coating a part of said surface. The planned path may comprise one or more bends. The path taken by the robot wrist may be controlled to follow a different path from the path taken by the TCP. A system and a computer program for carrying out the method are also described.
Abstract:
One aspect of the invention concerns a dosing device for a program controlled spray painting apparatus adapted for dosing electrically conductive fluid materials to a spray gun/applicator. The spray gun may be charged at a high voltage for electrostatically charged atomizing of electrically conductive fluid materials. Another aspect of the invention concerns a coating system including the dosing device, which is moved by an actuator between a connecting member for a paint filling line or a cleaning fluid supply line, and a spray gun. A method and a computer program for carrying out the method are is described.
