Abstract
A robot control device includes: a graphic primitive selection unit that selects graphic primitives having a tag indicating machining details from CAD data in a CAD device; a tool data extraction unit that extracts, from the database unit, information on a machining tool associated with the machining details indicated by the tag attached to the selected graphic primitives; and an operation planning unit that allows a robot to perform a machining operation according to the extracted information on the machining tool based on the selected graphic primitives.
Claims6
A robot control device that allows a robot to machine a workpiece based on graphic primitives indicating a machined part of an object, the graphic primitives being included in CAD data on a machining drawing of the object,
- the robot control device comprising:
- a database unit in which machining details and information on a machining tool corresponding to the machining details are stored in association with each other;
- a graphic primitive selection unit that selects, from the CAD data, the graphic primitives having a tag indicating the machining details;
- a tool data extraction unit that extracts, from the database unit, information on the machining tool associated with the machining details indicated by the tag attached to the graphic primitives selected by the graphic primitive selection unit;
- and
- an operation planning unit that allows the robot to perform a machining operation according to the extracted information on the machining tool from the tool data extraction unit based on the graphic primitives selected by the graphic primitive selection unit.
A robot program generator that allows a robot to machine an object based on graphic primitives indicating a machined part of the object, the graphic primitives being included in CAD data on a machining drawing of the object,
- the robot program generator comprising:
- a database unit in which machining details and information on a machining tool corresponding to the machining details are stored in association with each other;
- a graphic primitive selection unit that selects, from the CAD data, the graphic primitives having a tag indicating the machining details;
- a tool data extraction unit that extracts, from the database unit, information on the machining tool associated with the machining details indicated by the tag attached to the graphic primitives selected by the graphic primitive selection unit;
- and
- an operation planning unit that allows the robot to perform a machining operation according to the extracted information on the machining tool from the tool data extraction unit based on the graphic primitives selected by the graphic primitive selection unit.
