  • Patent number: 5168453
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for positioning a plurality of works combined to assemble an article. Values of positions of a plurality of reference points set on each of the works are measured. The measured position values are accumulated to provide measured position data defining a measured position of the work. The measured position data are compared with design data defining a position specified for the work to provide error data defining a difference between the measured and specified positions for the work. The error data are used to position the work with respect to the other works.

  • Patent number: 4972310
    Abstract: To facilitate program control modification and troubleshooting in sequence control system in spite of simple processing programs, sequence control processes are linked in a chain fashion. A unit process for activating an actuation member in both forward and reverse directions forms a ring so as to be activated in sequence cyclically via an execution condition recognizing switches, and these unit process rings are linked between an actuation start side activator for the present process and an actuation end side activator for the preceding process, both activated simultaneously whenever one of them is activated. Therefore, any process can be stopped at, restarted and reversed from any process steps in both the forward and reverse directions through the linked actuation start and end side activators, after the automatic operation has been switched to the manual operation or vice versa.
