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.
Claims10
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;
- 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.
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 of the plurality of recesses on the surface;
- 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.
