Abstract
A control system which is arranged adjacent to a robot mechanical unit and on which maintenance work can be easily carried out. The control system includes a first unit and a second unit. The first unit includes relatively low-maintenance components and the second unit includes relatively high-maintenance components. Further, the first unit and the second unit are connected such that they can be mechanically and electrically separated from each other with ease, thereby making it possible to effect replacement unit by unit.
Claims2
A control system for an industrial robot, which is constucted such that said control system is arranged adjacent to a robot mechanical unit, comprising:
- a first cabinet of a first robot control unit including components each requiring a relatively low frequency maintenance, wherein said first cabinet is arranged on a side of said robot mechanical unit;
- and
- a second cabinet of a second robot control unit connected to said first cabinet in a manner mechanically and electrically separable therefrom, and including components each requiring a relatively high frequency in maintenance,
- wherein said first cabinet and said second cabinet are equipped with a mechanism having portions that can be separated from each other and connected to each other.
A control system for an industrial robot, which is constructed such that said control system is arranged adjacent to a robot mechanical unit, comprising:
- a first cabinet of a first robot control unit comprising transformer components, wherein, said first cabinet is arranged on a side of said robot mechanical unit;
- and
- a second cabinet of a second robot control unit connected to said first cabinet in a manner mechanically and electrically separable therefrom, and including a control circuit board including a processor, a power board and servo amplifier,
- wherein said first cabinet and said second cabinet are equipped with a mechanism having portions that can be separated from each other and connected to each other.
