Patent number: 10250169Abstract: A robot system includes a motor, an inverter, a first control portion, and a second control portion. The motor includes stator windings for three phases. The inverter includes series-connection bodies of a high-side switch and a low-side switch for three phases. A connection point of the high-side switch and the low-side switch for each of the phases is connected with the corresponding stator winding. One of the high-side switch and the low-side switch for each of the phases works as a brake switch. The first control portion and the second control portion performs a driving control of the brake switches. Each of the first control portion and the second control portion has a function of monitoring the robot system, and turns on the brake switches for at least two phases when detecting that an abnormality occurs in the robot system.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: DENSO WAVE INCORPORATEDInventor: Hideyuki Nishino

Patent number: 10071481Abstract: A system to secure people's safety in places such as a factory wherein people and industrial robot collaborate with each other in a state that a physical fence surrounding the preferred industrial robot's working region is excluded. The system is capable of acquiring respective distances between robot and a plurality of people. Furthermore, a critical distance of each person is set on the basis of at least one of personal information that each person individually has and environment information to be set depending on the robot's setting environment. A mounted-type monitor is respectively mounted on the plurality of people and is capable of displaying information within a view of each person, and a control unit is capable of controlling display content thereon. According to the display control, when a distance between robot and each person becomes less than a critical distance, the distance state is displayed on the mounted-type monitor.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: DENSO WAVE INCORPORATEDInventor: Hideyuki Nishino
