Abstract
A work program production system includes a photographing unit that photographs an image including an object to be welded, a coordinate system setting unit that sets a user coordinate system based on a marker included in the image photographed by the photographing unit, a point-group-data plotting unit that detects a specific position of the marker on the basis of the image, sets the detected specific position on point group data acquired by a distance measurement sensor that measures a distance to the object to be welded, and plots, in the user coordinate system, the point group data to which coordinates in the user coordinate system using the set specific position as an origin are given, and a program production unit that produces a welding program.
Claims11
A work program production system comprising:
- a photographing terminal that photographs an image including an object to be worked;
- a coordinate system setting unit that sets a user coordinate system based on a marker included in the image photographed by the photographing terminal;
- a point-group-data plotting unit that detects a specific position of the marker on the basis of the image, sets the detected specific position on point group data acquired by a distance measurement sensor that measures a distance to the object to be worked, and plots, in the user coordinate system, the point group data to which coordinates in the user coordinate system using the set specific position as an origin are given;
- and
- a program production unit that produces a work program so as to allow an industrial robot virtually placed in the user coordinate system to perform work on the basis of the point group data plotted in the user coordinate system, while avoiding interference with the point group data.
A work program production method to be implemented by a processor, the method comprising the steps of:
- setting a user coordinate system based on a marker included in an image including an object to be worked and photographed by a photographing terminal;
- detecting a specific position of the marker on the basis of the image, setting the detected specific position on point group data acquired by a distance measurement sensor that measures a distance to the object to be worked, and plotting, in the user coordinate system, the point group data to which coordinates in the user coordinate system using the set specific position as an origin are given;
- and
- producing a work program so as to allow an industrial robot virtually placed in the user coordinate system to perform work on the basis of the point group data plotted in the user coordinate system, while avoiding interference with the point group data.
