Robot Teaching Point Grouping for Faster Parameter Setting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of setting speeds and other operation values for numerous teaching points in robot operation programs makes the teaching process cumbersome and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves acquiring and displaying multiple teaching points, classifying them into groups, receiving operation parameters, and setting operation values for each group using those parameters, simplifying the process by reducing the number of parameters to be set.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If operation values are set for each individual teaching point, then the precision of robot operation control is improved, but the complexity of teaching work increases and time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple teaching points into teaching point groups, where operation values are set at the group level rather than individually for each teaching point. This combining approach maintains operational precision while significantly reducing teaching work complexity and time requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dual-level operation value setting system that works both at the teaching point group level (for efficiency) and the individual teaching point level (for precision when needed). This universal approach allows the system to adapt to different teaching scenarios, providing both simplified batch setting and detailed individual control.
2Manufacturing precision
If operation values are set for each individual teaching point, then the precision of robot operation control is improved, but the time required for teaching work increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple teaching points into teaching point groups, where operation values are set at the group level rather than individually for each teaching point. This combining approach maintains operational precision while significantly reducing teaching work complexity and time requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary classification of teaching points into groups before detailed operation value setting. This preliminary organization allows operators to efficiently set operation values for multiple teaching points simultaneously at the group level, reducing overall teaching time while maintaining the ability to adjust individual points if needed.
3Ease of operation
If teaching points are classified into groups, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments teaching points into distinct teaching point groups based on their operational characteristics and spatial relationships. This segmentation simplifies the teaching operation by allowing operators to work with grouped points rather than individual points, while the classification logic remains integrated within the control system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements automatic classification functionality that allows the system to self-organize teaching points into appropriate groups based on predefined criteria. This self-service classification reduces the manual effort required for grouping while maintaining ease of operation, as the system automatically performs the classification task.

AI summary
A teaching control method includes displaying three or more plurality of teaching points on a display section, acquiring a result of classification processing for classifying the plurality of teaching points into one or more teaching point groups, receiving an operation parameter for each teaching point group, and setting an operation value for each teaching point group using the operation parameter.
