Abstract: A method for controlling an automated work cell which includes at least one robot arm having at least three degrees of freedom controlled according to a plurality of control axes; a control center; a device for controlling the robot arm which includes a plurality of motor controllers each controlling operation of one motor and suitable for operating at least one portion of the robot arm; and a communication bus between the control center and the device for controlling the robot arm; wherein the method includes steps of: a) sending instructions emitted by the control center to control the control axes to a single arithmetic unit belonging to the device for controlling the robot; b) determining, within the arithmetic unit and according to instructions received from the orders for each of the motors controlled by a motor controller; and c) sending each motor controller an order, determined in step b), for the motor controlled by each motor controller.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control method applied to an automated work cell which includes at least one robot arm (4) having at least three degrees of freedom controlled according to a plurality of control axes (A1-A6; X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz); a control centre (8); a device (6) for controlling the robot arm (4), which includes a plurality of motor controllers (61-66) each controlling the operation of one motor (M1-M6), suitable for operating at least one portion of the robot arm (4); and a communication bus (14) between the control centre (8) and the device (6) for controlling the robot arm (4).

Abstract: A lighting device may include a circuit board, at least one light emitting diode fastened to the circuit board, and a housing, wherein the circuit board is a wall segment of the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a camera system having six axes of rotation for moving a camera. The camera system includes a camera robot and a tilt head for receiving and holding a camera, typically a television camera. The camera robot has an arm having five axes of rotation; the tilt head is fastened to the arm by means of a flange. The tilt head itself has only one axis of rotation which is configured for tilting the camera about this axis of rotation. The control of the tilt head is particularly simple with only one axis of rotation at the tilt head, particularly since a panning of the tilt head can take place through one of the axes of rotation on the arm and the tilt head can thus also be freely moved into different positions.
