  • Publication number: 20090224109
    Abstract: The articulated robot 10 has a sixth articulation 30 that rolls, a welding gun 32 connected to the sixth articulation 30, a cable 44 having one part connected to the welding gun 32, the other part being connected to a first support portion 48, and a flange 42 connected to the welding gun 32 and overhung in the diameter direction on the basis of a roll axis J of the sixth articulation 30. The flange 42 has a second support portion 52, having a larger diameter than a mechanical portion 40 around the roll axis J, for supporting a part of the cable 44. The second support portion 52 supports the cable 44 almost in parallel to the roll axis J. The second support portion 52 is provided at the opposite position of a C-shape member 38 on the basis of the roll axis J.

  • Patent number: 7034858
    Abstract: Corrected driving currents for a low gray level and a high gray levels are obtained respectively from a standard driving current by incorporating a beam spot area correction coefficient for variations of a beam spot area formed by a light beam emitted from a light-emitting element and transmitted through a lens array; an influence for a low gray level and a high gray level caused by one of a screen angle of pixel, a sensitivity of photoconductor, a surface temperature of photoconductor, and a developing bias voltage; and a light quantity correction coefficient. A driving current for driving the light-emitting element is obtained by using linear interpolation from the two corrected driving currents.

  • Publication number: 20040179213
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a computer supported plate making method includes: a coordinate layout numbering step, based on an original document or an instruction received from a client, of allocating for a page creation area screen the location and the size of character data and/or image data, which are represented by specific blocks using absolute coordinates, and of adding layout numbers to corresponding character data and/or image data; a character data input step of entering the character data to which the layout number has been added, and of creating, for each of the blocks represented by the absolute values, a file that includes information for a font type, a printing color and a size (Q's); and an image data input step of reading the image data to which the layout number has been added and defining the image data as files corresponding to the layout numbers, whereby, based on proofread letters, a correction is performed for each of the files.
