Abstract: A plurality of robots are installed so that they can simultaneously work on a common workpiece. Robot controllers are installed corresponding to the robots respectively. Each of vision sensors can acquire visual information about a measurement target that the workpiece has. The plurality of the robot controllers and the plurality of the vision sensors can all communicate with the visual processing computer commonly used. The visual processing computer computes a workpiece coordinate system based on a result of measurement of the measurement target that appears in the visual information acquired by the plurality of the vision sensors. Each of the robot controllers corrects a motion of the robot corresponding to the robot controller based on a result of a request to the visual processing computer.

Abstract: An insertion quality determinator is a determinator 1 that determines a quality of insertion of an insertion component 5 inserted into a hole formed in a work object. The insertion component 5 at least includes a head having the size that is impossible to be inserted into the hole, and a pillar-shaped body that extends from the head and has the thickness that is possible to be inserted into the hole. The determinator is configured to determine the quality of insertion based on positions of given parts P1-P4 of the head of the insertion component 5 inserted into the hole, in a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the hole.

Abstract: Among arbitrary positions on the course of a sealing gun, a position ahead of and separated from the arbitrary position in the moving direction of the sealing gun by a given distance, where an application part falls within a given allowable size in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction on the basis of the sealing gun, is a first position, and a position where the application part is deviated from the allowable size is a second position. A control device corrects the course of the sealing gun that is defined by an operation plan, based on the shape of the application part measured in a measurement point located at the first position.

Abstract: A catalytic combustor is configured to accelerate the combustion processing of anode off gas in the combustor to reduce the amount of unburned hydrogen discharged to the outside of the combustor. Anode off gas and cathode off gas discharged from the fuel cell are fed into the catalytic combustor and combusted with a catalyst. Ventilation air is supplied from inside of the fuel cell is also supplied to the catalytic combustor. A portion of the catalytic combustor located upstream of the catalyst inside is divided into an upper flow path and a lower flow path by a partitioning plate and a gas flow passage is provided upstream of the upper and lower flow paths. The cathode off gas is supplied to the gas flow passage.

Abstract: A controller determines whether a rate of temperature rise on an upstream side of a catalyst portion is at a determination criterion value or higher, and, when the rate of temperature rise on the upstream side of the catalyst portion is at the determination criterion value or higher, the controller determines that a combustor is in an abnormal combustion state. Therefore, an abnormal combustion state of the combustor can be detected before temperature of the combustor becomes high.

Abstract: In a reforming reactor (31), a partial oxidation reaction is performed between a hydrocarbon fuel and air, and in a mixer (32), water is injected into hot gas heated by the partial oxidation reaction to vaporize the water, and the vaporized water is mixed with the hot gas. In a shift reactor (33), the vaporized water is made to undergo a shift reaction with the hot gas. In this way, a device for promoting vaporization of the water or a complex fuel injection device is not required.

Abstract: A fuel cell generates electric power by the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and the oxygen in air. After the hydrogen discharged without being consumed by an anode is burned in a burner, it is discharged out of a fuel cell system. Therefore, the fuel cell system has a cathode switch valve in the middle of the cathode line, and when the fuel cell system stops, non-saturated air of a compressor bypasses the fuel cell, and supplies the air to the catalytic burner. Although the cathode exhaust gas of saturated water vapor is circulating to the catalytic burner at the time of regular operation of the fuel cell, the non-saturated air which bypasses the fuel cell and is supplied can replace the inside of the catalytic burner with dry air. Therefore, the amount of water vapor in the catalytic burner is decreased at the time of a stop, and the catalyst is quickly activated at the time of re-starting.
