  • Patent number: 11154947
    Abstract: There is provided a laser processing system including: a robot; a laser emission section provided on the robot; an irradiation path calculation section configured to calculate an irradiation path of a laser beam emitted from the laser emission section using information on a position of the robot; a determination section configured to determine whether the irradiation path calculated passes through an allowable irradiation region that is predetermined; and a laser-output reduction section configured to reduce output of the laser beam to be emitted to the irradiation path to a second output lower than a first output for processing in accordance with a determination by the determination section that the irradiation path does not pass through the allowable irradiation region.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050187657
    Abstract: A robot allowing an operator to refer to information required for inspections or the like without having to use a printed manual or a display screen of a teaching pendant. A display device has a flexible display screen that uses organic light-emitting diodes, a control unit, and a plug. The display device plug is inserted in a connector provided at a suitable location the robot arm, the display unit is lightly pressed onto the surface of the robot arm (the surface may be curved or flat) and a sticking part (an adhesive layer or magnetic layer) stuck onto and fixed to the surface. Instructions are transmitted from the teaching pendant to a robot controller. Electric power and signals are transmitted to the control unit through wiring and an image is displayed on the display unit. The technician carries on with the work of inspection while referring to the display screen. Alternatively, power may be supplied by battery and data exchanged by wireless communications.
