Abstract
A device for determining the positions of a plurality of recessed portions to be formed on a surface of a workpiece by means of scraping, in which a robot uses a scraper to shave the surface of the workpiece to make the same flat, is provided with: an input accepting unit for accepting input of shape information of the surface and pattern information of the plurality of recessed portions on the surface; and a position determining unit for automatically determining the position of each recessed portion on the surface on the basis of the shape information and the pattern information accepted by the input accepting unit.
Claims12
A device configured to determine positions of a plurality of recesses to be formed on a surface of a workpiece by a scraping process in which a robot scrapes the surface with a scraper in order to flatten the surface, the device comprising:
- an input receiving section configured to receive input of shape information of the surface and pattern information determining a positional relationship between the respective recesses to be arranged on the surface, through an input device to which the shape information and pattern information are input by an operator,
- the input device including at least one of a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel;
- and a position determination section configured to automatically determine the position of each of the plurality of recesses on the surface, based on the shape information and the pattern information received by the input receiving section,
- wherein the robot is controlled to execute the scraping process based on the positions of the plurality of recesses determined by the position determination section.
A device configured to determine positions of a plurality of recesses to be formed on a surface of a workpiece by a scraping process in which a robot scrapes the surface with a scraper in order to flatten the surface, the device comprising:
- an input receiving section configured to receive input of shape information of the surface and pattern information of the plurality of recesses on the surface, the pattern information including:
- design information for specifying a type of design for arranging the plurality of recesses to align in a lattice pattern in a row direction and a column direction which are defined on the surface;
- and
- a position determination section configured to automatically determine the position of each of the plurality of recesses on the surface, based on the shape information and the pattern information received by the input receiving section,
- wherein the robot is controlled to execute the scraping process based on the positions of the plurality of recesses determined by the position determination section.
A method of determining positions of a plurality of recesses to be formed on a surface of a workpiece by a scraping process in which a robot scrapes the surface with a scraper in order to flatten the surface, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, input of shape information of the surface and pattern information determining a positional relationship between the respective recesses to be arranged on the surface, through an input device to which the shape information and pattern information are input by an operator,
- the input device including at least one of a keyboard, a mouse and a touch panel;
- and automatically determining, by the processor, the position of each of the plurality of recesses on the surface, based on the received shape information and the pattern information,
- wherein the robot is controlled to execute the scraping process based on the determined positions of the plurality of recesses.
