If the type I is overturned, the robot controller 42 does not send an instruction to the servo motor 12 and displays the available parts; if the robot controller 42 is in the second type of overturning, the robot controller 42 sends an instruction to the servo motor 12, the first layer structure component overturns by a fixed angle, wherein a workpiece sensor corresponding to the servo motor 12 feeds back a travel signal to the robot controller 42, and after the robot controller 42 processes the signal, the overturning condition of the first layer structure component is displayed through an alarm indicator lamp: the overturning condition comprises: after the overturning is finished, people cannot get close to the overturning, and the overturning faults should be checked. For example, a tri-color lamp is used as an alarm indicator lamp, and if the alarm indicator lamp is green, the turning is completed; if the display is red, the display is turned over, and the personnel cannot get close; if the color is yellow, the turning failure is indicated, and the failure is checked. If the vehicle is not overturned to a fixed angle, alarming is carried out, and then fault processing is carried out.
Step 7: and (5) feeding the workpiece by workers, and starting the double-hand button to send the workpiece after finishing feeding the workpiece.
In the step 7, the step of starting the two-hand button feeding may further include the following sub-steps:
step 7.1: after the two-hand button is started, if the first layer of structural components are overturned before, the first layer of structural components are restored to a horizontal state; if the level is maintained before, the process continues.
Step 7.2: the workpiece sensor detects whether the workpiece is placed at the correct loading position, and feeds back a detection signal to the robot controller 42.
If the robot controller 42 receives the detection signal of the workpiece sensor, the workpiece loading is finished; if the robot controller 42 does not receive the detection signal of the workpiece sensor, an alarm is given, and then a fault process is performed.
Step 7.3: the robot controller 42 sends a signal to the frequency converter of the belt motor 38 to start the belt motor 38 to begin feeding.
