Abstract
A robot system that simplifies a configuration and control sequence of a feed table device. The robot system includes a robot, a first table and a second table, a first feed device that feeds the first table, a second feed device that feeds the second table, an interlocking member that works the first feed device and the second feed device in synchronization with each other, and a control device that controls a first operation of the robot for a process and also controls a second operation, which is different from the first operation, of the robot for manipulating the interlocking member. The robot manipulates the interlocking member by the second operation, and thus respectively disposes the first table and the second table in a position corresponding to the process.
Claims7
A robot system comprising:
- a robot;
- a first table on which the robot carries out a work;
- a second table on which the robot carries out a work;
- a first feed device configured to feed the first table;
- a second feed device configured to feed the second table;
- an interlocking member configured to interlock the motions of the first feed device and the second feed device;
- and
- a control device configured to control:
- a first operation of the robot for the work;
- and
- a second operation of the robot, which is different from the first operation, for manipulating the interlocking member,
- wherein the robot respectively disposes the first table and the second table in positions in response to the work, by manipulating the interlocking member in the second operation.
A feed table device comprising:
- a first table;
- a second table;
- a first feed screw device configured to move the first table;
- a second feed screw device configured to move the second table;
- and
- an interlocking member configured to cause interlocked-feeding motions of the first feed screw device and the second feed screw device, under a driving force from the outside.
