Abstract
The three-dimensional geometry of an attachment is measured before work is started. A maximum dimension of a take-out head 60 in the X direction, a maximum dimension of the take-out head 60 in the Y direction, and a maximum dimension of the take-out head 60 in the Z direction are measured on the basis of an image of the take-out head 60 captured by at least imaging devices C11 and C12 before the take-out head 60 starts work with the take-out head 60 being mounted to an elevating frame 59B of an apparatus 5 for taking out a molded product, as an orthogonal three-axis robot.

A method of measuring three-dimensional geometry of an attachment mounted to a work frame of an orthogonal three-axis robot having operation shafts extending in an X direction, a Y direction, and a Z direction, the method comprising:
- measuring a maximum dimension of the attachment in the X direction, a maximum dimension of the attachment in the Y direction, and a maximum dimension of the attachment in the Z direction on the basis of an image of the attachment captured by at least one imaging device before the attachment starts work with the attachment being mounted to the work frame of the orthogonal three-axis robot.
A system for measuring three-dimensional geometry of an attachment mounted to a work frame of an orthogonal three-axis robot having operation shafts extending in an X direction, a Y direction, and a Z direction, the system comprising:
- a processor, wherein
- the processor constitutes a dimension measurement section for measuring a maximum dimension of the attachment in the X direction, a maximum dimension of the attachment in the Y direction, and a maximum dimension of the attachment in the Z direction on the basis of an image of the attachment captured by at least one imaging device before the attachment starts work with the attachment being mounted to the work frame of the orthogonal three-axis robot.
