Title:
ROBOT ALIGNMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006009877
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The robot alignment system (54) is used for establishing a predetermined alignment position between a movable robot member and an article that is processed by the robot (12). The system includes a laser transmitter that emits a focused laser beam and a target against which the focused laser beam (62) is directed. The laser transmitter is preferably supported by the robot (12) and the target is supported by the article that is processed by the robot (12). A signaling device cooperates with the target to produce a detectable signal when the focused laser beam (62) is received at a predetermined location on the target. The detectable signal signifies establishment of a predetermined alignment position between the robot (12) and the article that is processed by the robot (12).
