  • Apparatus for automatically adjusting the programmed location of a robot arm
    Patent number: 4433382
    Abstract: Apparatus for adjusting the position of a robot arm in response to coordinate data supplied by an external user process control. During the execution of a programmed cycle of operation, a robot control causes the robot arm to move to a predetermined programmed position. In response to a programmed adjust function code, the robot control requests change-of-position information from the user process control. Depending on the actual position of the robot arm, the user process control may transmit a set of adjusted coordinate data to the robot control defining an adjusted position. The robot control moves the robot arm to the adjusted position and proceeds with the programmed cycle of operation.
