  • Publication number: 20060025890
    Abstract: An offline programming device 1, robot control units 2a and 3a, and visual sensors 4 and 5 are connected to each other via a communication line 10. The device 1 stores and displays a shape of a work 6 generated by a CAD, for the work to be processed. Vertexes and edge lines of the work shape are assigned. A straight line processing route is formed by connecting between the assigned vertexes as teaching points. Points at both ends of the assigned edge line are set as teaching points, and the assigned edge line is set as a processing route. A processing program is generated in this way. The processing program is corrected based on a position and a posture of an actual work obtained by acquiring images of the work with the visual sensors 4 and 5. The processing operation of the processing program is simulated, and the work 6 is moved with a carriage 7 so that each axis of the robot is within a stroke limit to avoid the occurrence of interference between the robot and other objects.
