Description

A kit and a method
FIELD OF THE INVENTION AND BACKGROUND ART
The invention relates to a robot work station kit according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method to manufacture a robot work station kit according to the preamble of claim 8.
Robots, object holders for robots and robot controllers are usually shipped separately from factory to users and the users are building their robot work stations from said parts. Depending on the use of the work station different types of robots, object holders and robot controllers are chosen by the user and they are assembled to work stations according to their use.
If a user for instance needs a robot to perform a welding work on an object, robot work station parts such as a robot, a robot controller and an object holder configured to hold and manipulate said object are ordered from a manufacturer of said robot work station parts. The robot work station parts are installed and calibrated in the facilities of the user. Several problems may arise in the installation phase of the robot work station in the facilities of the user, such as:
• extensive calibration work after the installation, • risk for damages on cables, and
• high costs for installation.
These problems are costly for the user and there is a need to reduce said problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a new and favourable robot work station kit. This object is according to the invention achieved by means of a robot work station kit having the features defined in claim 1 . By providing a frame to which the robot, the robot controller and the object holder are mounted a user can be offered robot work station kits defined for specific uses from a manufacturer of robots. A user usually has a clearly defined task for the robot work station and can order a robot work station kit, optimized for said task, from a manufacturer of such kits directly. In this way the installation of the work station at the facility of the user will be much quicker than if separate parts of the work station are assembled.
According to one embodiment of the invention the frame is configured to house cables of the robot work station kit, such as cables used between the robot and the robot controller and between the object holder and the robot controller. Cables are expensive and by housing the cables in the frame the lengths of the cables can be minimized. There is also a high risk for damaging cables during installation of robot work stations in the facilities of the user, since heavy equipment is transported during the installation. Due to the fact that cables are installed in the robot work station kit the cables are not exposed during installation of said kit reducing the risk for cable damage.
According to another embodiment of the invention the robot work station kit comprises an additional robot mounted to the frame and configured to perform a work, such as welding, on an object. If an additional robot is mounted to the frame an additional work can be performed by the robot work station kit. The additional robot can be provided to the robot work station kit to do a similar work as the first robot or another work.
According to another embodiment of the invention the object holder has at least one shaft, preferably 1 - 5 shafts, most preferred 1 - 3 shafts, by means of which an object held by the object holder can be moved. In the robot work station kit the robot and the object holder work cooperatively. If the object holder is provided with at least one shaft by means of which the object can be moved, said cooperative work is facilitated.
According to another embodiment of the invention the object holder is a positioner configured to hold an object on which a welding work is to be performed.
According to another embodiment of the invention the robot controller is situated in the frame, directly under the robot/robots. In this way the lengths of the cables between the robot and the robot controller can be minimized and costs can be saved when manufacturing the robot work station kit.
A further object of the invention is to provide a new and favourable method to manufacture a robot work station kit. This object is according to the invention achieved by means of a method having the features defined in claim 8.
By providing a method by which the robot, the robot controller and the object holder are mounted to a frame in common a user can be offered robot work station kits defined for specific uses from a manufacturer of robots. A user usually has a clearly defined task for the robot work station and can order a robot work station kit, optimized for said task, from a manufacturer of such kits directly. In this way the installation of the work station at the facility of the user will be much quicker than if separate parts of the work station are assembled.
According to another embodiment of the invention a calibration of the robot work station kit is performed after the robot, the object holder and the robot controller have been mounted to the frame in common. By having the parts of the robot work station kit mounted onto a frame in common a calibration of said kit can be performed after mounting. The calibrated robot work station kit can thereafter be transported to another location. According to another embodiment of the invention the calibration of the robot work station kit is performed in a factory before the robot work station kit is shipped to a place for use of said kit. This saves costs and time for the user of the robot work station kit. Earlier operators had to calibrate the robot work station kit after having been installed at the user's facility. This is time consuming and costly for the user. Said costs can be partly saved by the robot work station kit of the invention.
According to another embodiment of the invention the robot/robots is/are mounted directly to the frame without mounting a foot casting in between the robot/robots and the frame. Since the robot is mounted directly to the frame, a foot casting or similar is unnecessary. In this way production costs can be saved.
According to another embodiment of the invention the robot, the object holder and the robot controller are mounted to said frame in a factory before being shipped to a place to be used. This way the robot work station kit can be custom made for the user and no further optimization and calibrations are needed after the kit is installed in a facility of the user. During mounting of parts to a robot work station kit it often happens that cables are damaged. By providing the kit directly from the manufacturer such damages are avoided.
Other advantages and advantageous features of the invention will appear from the other dependent claims and the subsequent description.
