STITCH PROCESSING METHOD USING INDUSTRIAL ROBOT

Title:

STITCH PROCESSING METHOD USING INDUSTRIAL ROBOT

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/006545

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A stitch processing method using an industrial robot which is simple in teaching and capable of performing an accurate stitch processing. Processing (application of sealing agent) block distances (n1) and non-processing block distances (n2) are set on a robot control device as shown in Fig. 5b without teaching switching points (P1, P2,...), between blocks of sealing agent application and blocks of non-application in a sealing processing or the like as shown in Fig. 5a. The robot control device monitors moving distances and permits stitch processing by switching between non-processing and processing for every movement of the distance (n1) or the distance (n2). As shown in Figs. 5c and 5g, a starting point and a terminal point in one block belong to the processing block distance (n1). It is also possible to perform stitch processing continuously over a plurality of blocks as shown in Fig. 5d. It is also possible to perform stitch processing including a set number of processings and non-processings in one block as shown in Fig. 5f.
