Embodiment Construction

[0031] In one embodiment of the invention an improved TPU is described for moving a robot by manually influencing at least two control means such as joysticks, and in particular two-way control means or joysticks.

[0032] FIG. 1 shows a schematic view from above of an improved TPU according to one embodiment of the present invention as seen by an operator looking down. The figure shows a TPU in the form of a panel 1 or console comprising a first control device 2 and a second control device 3 . The emergency stop 4 is provided as a button on the panel. The panel may also be provided with some kind of display 5 and one or more switching means 6,7. The switching device 6 or 7 can be configured as a single button or as a group of buttons. The function of the buttons is controlled by the robot control system and can be presented in plain text on the display. Buttons can activate fixed functions or variable functions such as programmable functions. In general, each button, when...

Abstract

A robot controller for an industrial robot is described. The robot controller is a portable controller of the TPU Teach Pendant Unit type and comprises control means for moving a robot in three or more degrees of freedom. The TPU comprises a visual display and selection means associated with programming or controlling a robot. In other aspects of the invention a system comprising a robot and a control unit and the TPU are described. A computer program of the TPU for carrying out the method is also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control system for an industrial robot comprising a portable robot controller or a teaching box comprising control means for manually controlling the movement of the robot or manipulator. In particular, the present invention relates to an improved teach pendant unit (TPU). Background technique [0002] The movement of the manually controlled robotic arm is used especially at the programming stage to teach the robot to follow an operational path defined by a number of setpoints. The memory means in the control system may store the coordinates of said setpoints as position instructions and other work instructions which, together with said setpoints, define the robot and are set during automatic operation of the robot according to the values ​​stored in the The information in the memory device is used to control the duty cycle of the robot device. [0003] In control systems for industrial robots, the robot is often op...
