  • Patent number: 7130718
    Abstract: A method for an industrial robot to increase accuracy in movements of the robot. A first path is formed by bringing a tool supported by the robot to adopt a plurality of generated positions. A plurality of observed positions of the tool moving along the first path are determined. A second path is formed of the determined tool positions. A correction is determined by a path deviation between geometrically determined positions in the first path and the second path.

  • Publication number: 20040093119
    Abstract: A method in an industrial robot for increasing the accuracy in the movements of the robot, where a tool supported by the robot is brought to adopt a plurality of positions generated by the control system, which are each determined by a measuring system, whereby a deviation between the generated position and the position determined by the measuring system is introduced as a correction in the control system for adjusting the movement. The generated positions and the positions determined by the measuring system, respectively, are adapted to form a first path an a second path, respectively, whereby the correction is determined by a path deviation between geometrically calculated positions in the respective path.

  • Patent number: 5062777
    Abstract: A pump has a housing which is used as a foundation and comprises a working space for product-feeding units. The bearing axles of the units are arranged in bearing sleeves and introduced into the pump housing from the rear so that the axles extend, via front recesses in the pump housing, into the working space for interaction with the units. Sliding ring seals are arranged at the front recesses in order to seal off the working space from the rear of the pump. The pump housing is provided with a removably fitted front gable in order to permit access to the sliding ring seals from the front end of the pump housing. The pump housing is designed as a seat for the rotationally fixed part of each sliding ring seal and interacts with an element which fixes the axial displacement for the rotationally fixed part. The seat and the rotationally fixed part are arranged for simple introduction into and for removal from the seat of the rotationally fixed part.
