Embodiment Construction

[0031] Hereinafter, the end effector 4 of the industrial robot 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0032] Such as figure 1 As shown, the industrial robot 1 of the present embodiment includes: an articulated robot arm 2; and an end effector (hand) 4, and a wrist shaft 3 attached to the tip of the robot arm.

[0033] In addition, the type of industrial robot to which the present invention is applied is not particularly limited, and can be applied to various industrial robots such as a vertical articulated robot or a horizontal articulated robot.

[0034] Such as Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the end effector 4 in this embodiment is provided with an end effector base 5 connected to the robot arm 2 ( figure 1 ). The end effector base 5 is provided with a first object holding mechanism 6 for holding a first type of processing object.

[0035] The first object holding mechanism 6 has a plurality of first grasping membe...

Abstract

This end effector (4) of an industrial robot is provided with: an end effector base (5) connected to a robot arm; a first subject holding mechanism (6) that is provided to the end effector base (5) and is for holding a first type of handling subject (O1); a second subject holding unit (9) for holding a second type of handling subject (O2); and a unit holding mechanism (10) that is provided to the end effector base (5) and that is for holding the second subject holding unit (9) in a releasable manner. The end effector (4) is configured in a manner such that the second subject holding unit (9) held by the unit holding mechanism (10) is driven by the first subject holding mechanism (6). By means of this end effector, an increase in production cost, a decrease in reliability due to increased configuration complexity, and an increase in replacement hand installation space are suppressed, and it is possible to increase the range of types and sizes of handling subjects that can be handled.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an end effector, especially an end effector for processing different kinds of processing objects, an industrial robot provided with the end effector, and an operating method of the industrial robot. Background technique [0002] In an industrial robot, an appropriate end effector (hand) corresponding to the work content is attached to the tip of a robot arm, and the robot arm is driven to transfer the processing target held by the end effector. In a production line that assembles various types of processing objects (parts) of different shapes and sizes while completing products, industrial robots that can handle multiple processing objects are required. [0003] If it is desired to arrange dedicated robots for each processing target, the space required to install those robots increases, and the manufacturing cost of the robots also increases. Therefore, it is required to be able to deal with different work contents or process...
