Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for operating an industrial robot by means of an operating device, and includes a graphical operator interface, such as a touch-sensitive display, the robot being connected to a robot control unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held operating device for operating an industrial robot, the device including a graphical operator interface having a touch-sensitive display for displaying at least one virtual operating element, which represents a function for operating the robot, and which can be operated by touching the operating element with a finger of an operating person or a pen, a control unit for controlling the graphical operator interface and for communicating with a robot controller, a haptic mark associated with at least one virtual operating element and designed as a guide, which haptic mark is arranged in a display frame; that surrounds the touch-sensitive display at least in some areas and/or is arranged in frame segments of the display frame and by means of which haptic mark the finger of an operating person or the pin can be guided in the direction of the at least one operating element.

Abstract: A method for operating an industrial robot by means of an operating device, including a step of touching a virtual operating element of a touch display of a graphical user interface. A function associated with the operating element is triggered when the virtual operating element is touched, the movement of the industrial robot being carried out relative to a robot coordinate system and the movement on the touch display being carried out relative to a display coordinate system. In order to be able to simply align the coordinate systems of the operating device and of the industrial robot with each other, the display coordinate system is recalibrated after a relative movement of the operating device with respect to the robot coordinate system.

Abstract: A method for operating an industrial robot by means of an operating device, including a step of touching a virtual operating element on a touch-sensitive display of a graphical user interface, said display being surrounded by a frame, wherein a function associated with the operating element is triggered when the virtual operating element is touched. In order to increase the safety of the operation of the industrial robot and to be able to adjust the position of the industrial robot in the desired range, the speed or distance of a deflection of a finger of an operating person during the touching of the virtual operating element of the touch display is detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an industrial robot by means of an operating device comprising a graphical user interface having a touch display. To improve the operating safety of the industrial robot, at least one virtual operating element representing a function of the industrial robot is displayed on the touch display, a control signal associated with said virtual operating element is sent to a safety controller, and an image is produced by means of the safety controller, which image is then displayed on the touch display. If the image is touched on the touch display, feedback is given to the safety controller so that a function of the industrial robot can be carried out if the displayed image and touching of said image on the touch display match.

Abstract: In a method for robot-controlled cutting of workpieces to be joined by laser radiation, a first workpiece is arranged in vicinity of a second workpiece in a first position. A laser is focused onto the first workpiece. A contour of the first workpiece is cut with the laser beam; this contour is to be assembled and joined with the second workpiece. During cutting, a first spacing of a focal point of the laser beam from the second workpiece is repeatedly determined in a distance direction that is identically oriented during cutting and is adjusted to a direction of assembling the first and second workpieces. During cutting, a second spacing of a processing point of the laser beam from the second workpiece is maintained at a constant value.
