Embodiment Construction

[0035] As already mentioned above, the present invention is of general application. Attached figure 1 Purely by way of example, the application of the invention to a fastening station arranged along a production line for the production of motor vehicle doors for carrying out the two sheet metal The panel is fastened.

[0036] According to a technique known per se, the door structure D is placed in a horizontal position above the bracket C supported by the base B. As shown in FIG. The door structure D is pressed against the bracket C by a pressure member P supported at the bottom end of the vertically moving column P1. The fastening operation is carried out by means of a fastening head H removably mounted on the wrist W of any known type of multi-axis articulated robot R comprising a base structure R1 and the base Structure R1 is connected to a plurality of mutually articulated robot elements on the robot wrist W. The operation of the robot is controlled in a manner known p...

Abstract

A system for performing industrial operations comprises at least one tool head (H) provided with a tool (6, 7) and at least one sensor (S) associated to the tool head (H) and configured for detecting an operating parameter of the tool head (H). The system further comprises a control module (E) mounted on the tool head (H) and including a data-acquisition unit (A) connected to the sensor (S) and configured for acquiring the data coming from said at least one sensor (S), and a wireless transmission unit (T) connected to the acquisition unit (A) for receiving the aforesaid acquired data and configured for transmitting the data acquired to a receiving unit (U) in a wireless mode. The module (E) further comprises a device (EA) for storing electrical energy for electrical supply of the acquisition unit (A), of the wireless transmission unit (T) and of the sensor (S). The system further comprises a wireless charging system (CH) for charging the device (EA) for storing electrical energy, such as for example an inductive charging system, comprising a first charging device (CH1) carried by the tool head (H) and connected to the energy-storage device (EA) and a second charging device (CH2) associated to a stationary workstation (1) and co-operating in wireless mode with the first charging device (CH1) connected to the device (EA) for storing electrical energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems for performing industrial operations, systems of this type comprising: [0002] - at least one tool head provided with a tool; [0003] - at least one sensor associated with said tool head and configured to detect an operating parameter of the tool head; and [0004] - a control unit for controlling the operation of the tool head. Background technique [0005] In this description and in the claims that follow, the term "tool head" is understood to mean a tool head designed to perform any industrial operation, such as a clinching operation or a welding operation (such as , electric spot welding or laser welding), or even operations that simply move parts with the assistance of a gripping tool. The term "tool" is understood to mean any tool or equipment used on a tool head, such as a fastening roller or a pair of electrodes for electric welding, or optics for focusing a laser beam, or a holding tool .
