Abstract
To automatically perform an attachment work of a material supply to a target object, a robot system includes a robot provided with a body, a first arm provided for the body and having a plurality of joints, a second arm provided for the body separately from the first arm and having a plurality of joints, and hand units respectively provided for the first arm and the second arm. The robot holds one of a plurality of types of workpiece components using the hand units of the first arm and the second arm at the same time, and the remaining type of the workpiece components is held and carried by the hand unit of the first arm or the second arm.
Claims20
A robot system that attaches a material supply to a target object, comprising:
- a first arm having a first hand mechanism;
- a second arm having a second hand mechanism;
- and
- a control device that is configured to operate the first hand mechanism to feed the material supply, the control device being configured to operate the second hand mechanism to press the material supply that was fed against the target object, and the control device being configured to operate the first arm to further feed the material supply while the second hand mechanism presses the material supply against the target object.
A robot system that attaches a material supply to a target object, comprising:
- a first arm having a first hand mechanism;
- a second arm having a second hand mechanism;
- and
- a control device that is configured to operate the first hand mechanism to feed the material supply, the control device being configured to operate the second hand mechanism to press the material supply that was fed against the target object, and the control device being configured to simultaneously operate the first arm to move in a first direction to further feed the material supply and operate the second hand mechanism to press the material supply against the target object and move in a second direction, which is same as the first direction.
A method of manufacturing a processed product, comprising the steps of:
- preparing a robot provided with a first arm having a first hand mechanism and a second arm having a second hand mechanism;
- placing a target object on a stage provided near the robot, the target object being a component of the processed product;
- feeding the material supply from the first hand mechanism;
- pressing the material supply that was fed against the target object using the second hand mechanism;
- and
- further feeding the material supply using the first arm while the second hand mechanism presses the material supply against the target object.
