  • Patent number: 11867331
    Abstract: This female element of a quick connector that connects to a male element and has a hollow body, which extends along an insertion axis and which delimits a receiving volume for the male element. Radial openings, formed in the body along a radial axis, open into the receiving volume. Each radial opening receives a latch, translatable in relation to the body along the corresponding radial axis, between a locked and an unlocked position. The female element has an actuating ring arranged about the body and translatable between a locked and an unlocked position. The ring has guide grooves, which interact with pins of each latch. The guide grooves associated with each latch are geometrically carried by a guide plane inclined in relation to the insertion axis so that each latch is driven between its locked and unlocked positions when the actuating ring is moved between its locked and unlocked positions.

  • Publication number: 20230302642
    Abstract: The present process of controlling an industrial robot includes steps consisting of calculating a time-dependent composite setpoint defining articular forces and/or velocities, according to a target trajectory and to an operating mode; calculating (S106) a behavior matrix which describes a desired behavior of the robot arm, defining directions along which the calculated composite setpoint is to be applied; calculating (S108) an articular force setpoint for controlling the axis controller module and calculating the time derivative of a homogeneous internal state at an articular position. The articular force setpoint for controlling the axis controller module is calculated from a control function which adjusts the difference between the articular position and the internal state determined by integrating said time derivative of the internal state.
