Abstract

[Problème] L'objectif de la présente invention est de produire une imprimante tactile qui a une configuration et un fonctionnement simples et qui permet la sélection d'une large gamme de liquides durcissables et des pièces à usiner sur lequel un tracé de ces lettres en Braille ou un graphique tactile doit être formé. [Solution] Cette imprimante tactile (10) est pourvue d'un dispositif d'entrée (20), d'un distributeur (40) qui fonctionne comme un mécanisme de déplacement (70) et un dispositif de commande (80) pour effectuer la commande de fonctionnement. Le dispositif de commande (80) est pourvu d'un dispositif de conversion (85) qui convertit des informations de caractère ou des informations graphiques qui ont été entrées par le dispositif d'entrée (20) dans un motif de formation pour un tracé (P) de lettrage en Braille ou un graphique tactile. L'imprimante tactile transfère des mots (10) entrés par l'entremise du dispositif d'entrée (20) au traitement de conversion dans le moteur de conversion (85) et amène le distributeur (40) et le bras de robot (72) pour fonctionner sur la base des résultats de conversion de celui-ci, permettant aux lettres de Braille ou un graphique tactile à être représentés sur la pièce à usiner (W).
