Embodiment approach 1

[0022] The robot system according to Embodiment 1 is configured to include: a transfer device; a plurality of robots; a sensor for detecting unworked workpieces; The robot is arranged in series with respect to the conveying direction of the workpiece. When the sensor detects the unworked workpiece and the robot is in the standby state, the robot will perform the operation on the unoperated workpiece, and when the sensor detects If the workpiece is not being operated, and the robot is working, the robot will not perform work on the unoperated workpiece.

[0023] In addition, in the robot system according to the first embodiment, the sensors may be arranged for each of the plurality of robots.

[0024] In addition, in the robot system according to the first embodiment, the sensor may be constituted by a first sensor that detects the position of the workpiece with respect to the conveyance direction, and a second sensor that detects the state of the workpiece.

[0025] In additi...

Deformed example 1

[0084] Next, refer to Figure 5 A modified example of the robot system 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. In addition, since the configuration of the robot system 1 according to Modification 1 of the first embodiment is the same as that of the robot system 1 according to the first embodiment, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0085] Figure 5 It is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the robot system according to Modification 1.

[0086] First, as in the first embodiment, the workpiece supply device 104 supplies the unworked workpiece W1 to the conveyance device 101 , and the conveyance device 101 compares the unworked workpiece W1 supplied by the workpiece supply device 104 with the work performed by the robot 100 . The workpiece W2 is conveyed.

[0087] Then, an operator (operator) inputs instruction information indicating to execute a job of closing the unworked workpiece W1 with the cover member C to the control device 14...

Abstract

This robot system is provided with: a conveyance device (101); a plurality of robots (100A, 100B); a sensor (102) which detects an unprocessed workpiece (W1); and control devices (14) disposed in therespective robots (100A, 100B), wherein the plurality of robots (100A, 100B) are disposed in series with respect to a direction in which workpieces (W) are conveyed, and the control devices (14) are each configured to, when the sensor (102) has detected the unprocessed workpiece (W1) and the corresponding robot is in a standby state, cause the robot to process the unprocessed workpiece (W1), and to, when the sensor (102) has detected the unprocessed workpiece (W1) and the robot is operating, prevent the robot from processing the unprocessed workpiece (W1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a robot system and its operation method. Background technique [0002] There is known a unit system of production facilities for the purpose of flexibly and rapidly responding to changes in production volume (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The unit system of production equipment disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a plurality of work stations arranged in series on the production line to perform predetermined operations on workpieces, and a workpiece transfer device that transfers unworked workpieces to the work stations. , a workpiece unloading device that transfers the finished workpiece from the work station, and a lifting device that carries the unworked workpiece into the work station and unloads the finished workpiece to the work unloading device. [0003] Furthermore, in the unit system disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is disclosed that when the production volume increases, a work station is added. ...
