Patent number: 8763489Abstract: A jointed arm has an upper arm member joined to a second shoulder member, a first forearm member joined to the upper arm member by a first bending and stretching mechanism, and a wrist member joined to the first forearm member by a second bending and stretching mechanism, the first forearm member has a first turning mechanism that rotates the second bending and stretching mechanism, a hand section is joined to the wrist member by a second turning mechanism, and the rotation axes of the first and second turning mechanisms are offset. The upper arm member has a housing recessed portion that houses part of the first forearm member, part of the first turning mechanism, and part of the second bending and stretching mechanism in a state in which the first forearm member bends toward the upper arm member and the wrist member bends toward the first forearm member.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Daisuke Kirihara, Shingo Hoshino

Patent number: 8622198Abstract: An apparatus includes: a retainer moving between a shuttle and a socket; a presser holding a component; an adjuster moving the presser; a socket mark near the socket; a hand mark near the socket mark when the retainer is at a component mounting position; a first camera photographing a first image including the component and hand mark; a second camera photographing a second image including the socket mark and socket, and a third image including the socket mark and hand mark; a first calculator obtaining a first relative position between the socket mark and socket from the second image; a second calculator obtaining a second relative position between the socket mark and hand mark from the third image; and a third calculator obtaining a third relative position between the hand mark and component from the first image. The adjuster corrects the component's position based on the relative positions.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Takashi Yamazaki, Hiroaki Fujimori, Naohisa Maeda, Daisuke Kirihara, Satoshi Nakamura, Masami Maeda

Publication number: 20120277912Abstract: A robot includes an angular velocity sensor that detects the vibration of a robot. A control device allows the robot to perform a trial operation and acquires the measurement result measured by the angular velocity sensor during the trial operation as vibration information and analyzes the acquired vibration information based on maker evaluating information that is stored in a database. In the maker evaluating information, vibration information and the operating speed appropriate to the installation situation of the robot at which the vibration information is measured are associated with each other. Then, the robot is operated at an operating speed selected based on the analysis result of the vibration information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2012Publication date: November 1, 2012Applicant: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventor: Daisuke KIRIHARA
