Abstract: Even if a stop position of a supplied workpiece is not accurate, in order which an online robot can accurately perform works such as welding and painting, through the use of an offline robot of the same type as the online robot, detecting three reference positions on a workpiece by a first optical three-dimensional position detection means and teaching can be performed. The first coordinate transform matrix A1 stores the coordinates of each of the positions for an operation on the workpiece as the taught contents, when it is assumed that the workpiece is at a first reference position.

Abstract: Method for producing an interlaced multifilament yarn by rubbing and scratching a material multifilament yarn with a rotary rough surface member and with such intensity that individual filaments constituting the filament yarn are not substantially broken, the rotary surface member having projections which are smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the individual filaments of the material yarn; diffusing a jetted fluid which is jetted in the yarn running direction along a predetermined yarn passage from a jetting aperture of a supply conduit through a nozzle formed with a rectifying and diffusing portion having a substantially uniform cross-section, and impinging the diffused jetted fluid against the running material multifilament yarn so that the individual filaments of the multifilament yarn mostly vibrate in a direction substantially parallel to a plane defined by the yarn running direction and the fluid jetting direction, the vibration taking place in a section of the yarn passage facing the rectifyi

Abstract: A polyester fiber having a tenacity of at least 4.0 g/d is formed from a copolyester having a degree of polymerization of from 80 to 100 of which copolyester 1.0 to 2.0 mol % of its acid component has a metal sulfoisophthalic group and 0.5 to 1.9 weight % of which copolyester is provided by a glycol component provided by glycol having a molecular weight of from 400 to 6000. The polyester fiber is readily dyed with basic dyes.The polyester fiber can be prepared by spinning the copolyester at a shear rate of.ltoreq.10.sup.4 sec.sup.-1, a spinning draft ratio of .ltoreq.250, a back pressure of the spinneret of.gtoreq.40 kg/cm.sup.2 and a shear stress of .ltoreq.(Q+0.7).times.10.sup.7 dyne/cm.sup.2, where Q is the mass output rate per single hole (g/min).

Abstract: An apparatus for producing interlaced multifilament yarn having an improved configuration is disclosed. When a material yarn is treated by an interlacing apparatus provided with an interlacing nozzle wherein a hollow longitudinal space is formed therein and a jetted fluid is introduced into the hollow longitudinal space, the jet fluid is directed to an axis of the passage of a running yarn in the longitudinal space along a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the yarn passage in such a condition that the jet fluid is diffused to a direction along the yarn passage. Accordingly, the individual filaments of the running yarn are vibrated about the axis of the running yarn passage, mainly along a plane defined by the axis of the yarn passage and the axis of a fluid conduit for supplying the jet fluid. According to such effective vibration of the individual filaments, a very stable interlaced configuration of the individual filaments can be created.
