In the embodiment of the present invention, a four-axis parallel robot (delta robot) is taken as an example of the transfer robot 20, but this is for the sake of convenience of explanation. When the transfer robot 20 of the present invention is limited to a four- , And parallel robots with four axes or more can be used.

9, the automation apparatus 100 according to the present invention further includes a sensing unit 30 and a control block 40 to control the operation of the suction gripper 26 mounted on the transfer robot 20 .

4, the sensing unit 30 senses a single packaging container C that is installed in the transfer device 10 and is transferred through the transfer device 10, and transmits the sensing result to the control block 40. [ The sensing unit 30 may use any sensor capable of detecting a single packaging container C transported at a relatively high speed through the transport device 10 in real time. For example, an optical sensor, a magnetic sensor, or the like can be used.

The control block 40 controls the operation of the suction gripper 26 in response to the sensing signal transmitted from the sensing unit 30, as shown in FIG. That is, the control block 40 sequentially operates the grip blocks # 1 to # 6 of the suction type gripper 26 in response to the sensing signal transmitted from the sensing unit 30, (C), which are fed to the respective packaging containers (C).

First, the control block 40 controls the conveying speed of the single packaging container C conveyed through the conveying device 10 and the conveying speed of the sensing part SP of the sensing part 30, (L1 to L6) between the grip points (GP1 to GP6) of the grip blocks (# 1 to # 6) and the grip points (GP1 to GP6) And stores it in advance in the memory.

The time at which the individual packaging container C reaches each of the grip points GP1 to GP6 as the single packaging container C is moved at the same conveying speed through the transfer device 10 is expressed by the following equations Similarly, it is determined by the distance between the sensing point SP and each of the grip points GP1 to GP6.

[Equation 1]

't1' = distance between 'SP' and 'GP1' (L1) / feed rate

't2' = Distance between 'SP' and 'GP2' (L2) / Feed rate

't3' = Distance between 'SP' and 'GP3' (L3) / Feed rate

't4' = distance between 'SP' and 'GP4' (L4) / feed rate

't5' = distance between 'SP' and 'GP5' (L5) / feed rate

't6' = distance between 'SP' and 'GP6' (L6) / feed rate

Here, 't1' is the time at which the individual packaging container reaches the first grip point GP1, 't2' is the time at which the individual packaging container reaches the second grip point GP2, 't3' T5 is the time at which the individual packaging container reaches the fifth grip point GP5, t6 is the time at which the first packaging container reaches the fourth grip point GP4, 'Represents the time at which the individual packaging container reaches the sixth grip point (GP6).

Thereafter, when a single packaging container C conveyed through the conveying device 10 is sensed by the sensing unit 30, the control block 40 responds to the sensing signal of the sensing unit 30, The grip blocks # 1 to # 6 are operated by recognizing the arrival time of the corresponding individual packaging container to reach the corresponding grip point, and sequentially picking up the individual packaging containers C to be transported. That is, each of the grip blocks # 1 to # 6 operates corresponding to the arrival times t1 to t6 of the individual packaging containers C.

The control block 40 is capable of controlling the operation of the adsorptive gripper 26 in accordance with the program stored in the memory and programmed in an algorithm for controlling the operation of the adsorptive gripper 26. [ The distance L1 between the sensing point SP of the sensing unit 30 and the gripping points GP1 to GP6 of the grip blocks # 1 to # 6, To < RTI ID = 0.0 > L6. ≪ / RTI >

In the present embodiment, the control block 40 is described as directly controlling the adsorptive gripper 26, but this is for convenience of explanation. The control block 40 controls the transfer robot 20 so that the adsorption gripper 26 And the grip blocks # 1 to # 6 of the suction type gripper 26 are supplied to the lift portion 263-2 of each of the grip blocks # 1 to # 6 (Not shown) can be controlled to control the gripping operation of the single packaging container C.

[

The control block 40 sequentially operates a plurality of grip blocks corresponding to the arrival times t1 to t6 previously stored in the memory in synchronization with the sensing signals transmitted from the sensing unit 30 and outputs the grip points GP1 to GP6, (C) sequentially arriving at the bottom of the packaging container (C). That is, the grip blocks # 1 to # 6 sequentially operate in the order of # 1 → # 2 → # 3 → # 4 → # 5 → # 6, and sequentially arrive at the grip points GP1 to GP6 Adsorb the individual packaging containers (C) sequentially.
