Abstract
An industrial robot system comprises a control unit including programs for operating an industrial robot and a peripheral device of the industrial robot according to the programs; a memory for storing the steps of the programs which are effected when the industrial robot and peripheral device are stopped unintentionally; a detector for detecting the conditions of the industrial robot and peripheral device when the industrial robot and peripheral device are stopped unintentionally; and a restarter for starting the industrial robot and peripheral device again when the contents of the memory coincide with the conditions detected by the detectors.
Claims1
An industrial robot system, comprising:
- control means including programs for operating an industrial robot and a peripheral device of said industrial robot;
- memory means for storing the steps of said programs which are then being performed when said industrial robot and peripheral device are stopped unintentionally;
- detector means for detecting the conditions of said industrial robot and peripheral device when said industrial robot and peripheral device are stopped unintentionally;
- restarter means for starting said industrial robot and peripheral device again when the contents of said memory means coincide with the conditions detected by said detector means;
- and further comprising:
- annunciator means which operates when said restarter means cannot start said industrial robot and peripheral device within a predetermined number of attempts to detect coincidence between the contents of said memory means and the conditions detected by said detector means.
