Abstract
This system has an articulated robot having an arm and a base portion which rotatably supports the arm; and a rotation positioner to which the base portion of the articulated robot is mounted. A turn axis of the base portion of the articulated robot is orthogonal to a rotation axis of the rotation positioner. Thus, interference of a workpiece with the arm can be avoided and flexibility of works performed by the robot can be expanded.
Claims7
An automatic production system, comprising:
- an articulated robot having an arm and a base portion which rotatably supports the arm;
- and
- a rotation positioner to which the base portion of the articulated robot is mounted,
- wherein a turn axis of the base portion of the articulated robot is orthogonal to a rotation axis of the rotation positioner,
- wherein the rotation positioner has a rotary portion to which the base portion of the articulated robot is mounted, and a fixed portion which rotatably supports the rotary portion,
- wherein the fixed portion of the rotation positioner is configured to support a harness connected to the articulated robot,
- wherein the harness is arranged in a direction substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotation positioner around the fixed portion of the rotation positioner,
- wherein the automatic production system further comprises a traveling unit having a moving portion,
- wherein the rotation positioner is mounted to the moving portion of the traveling unit, and
- wherein the rotation axis of the rotation positioner is oriented in a direction orthogonal to a traveling direction of the moving portion.
