図1、図2及び図3は、第1実施形態に係るロボット走行装置20を備えるロボットシステム10を示している。図1は斜視図、図2は側面図、図3は、図2のロボット走行装置20の床面に設置する部分の拡大図である。ロボットシステム10は、工作機械100と、工作機械100へのワークの着脱を行うロボット200と、ワーク置き場と工作機械100との間でロボット200を走行させるためのロボット走行装置20と、を有する。
図4、図5、図6及び図7は、第1実施形態に係るロボット走行装置20を示している。図4は斜視図、図5は側面図、図6は正面図、図7は平面図である。
すなわち、L字形のスタンド29は、ロボット走行装置20を設置したい位置とロボット200を走行させたい位置とを結ぶ中継部品として機能する。例えば、図7に示すように、L字形のスタンド29は、レール部27の中心軸Caに対してロボット200が実際に走行する走行軸Maを水平方向と鉛直方向とにオフセットさせることができる。それにより、図1、図2に示すように、ロボット走行装置20を設置したい場所が工作機械100の前面下部であって、ロボット200を走行させたい位置が工作機械100の前面のスライド扉109の前方であるような設置要求があっても、L字形のスタンド29を用いることによって、対応することができる。L字形のスタンド29を使用することで、図7に示すように、レール中心軸Caに対してロボット200の走行軸を水平方向にオフセットすることができるため、レール部27の直上をロボット200が移動しないため、ロボット200が把持するワークから落下した切り屑や垂れた水などの液体がレール部27に付着する可能性を低減することができ、例えば、レール部27に堆積したゴミがスライダ部291に絡んでしまって、ロボット200の走行を停止させてしまうなどの不具合が発生するリスクを抑えられる。
第1実施形態に係るロボット走行装置20は、ケーブルキャリア31をレールベース23の表面側に設置していたが、ケーブルキャリア31が設置される位置はこれに限定されない。第2実施形態に係るロボット走行装置40は、第1実施形態に係るロボット走行装置20においてレールベース23の表面側に配置されていたケーブルキャリア31を、レールベース23の裏面側に配置したものである。以下、図9、図10及び図11を参照して第2実施形態に係るロボット走行装置40を説明する。
第1、第2実施形態に係るロボット走行装置20、40は、レールベース23,43を縦置きしていたが、レールベース23,43は横置きしてもよい。第3実施形態に係るロボット走行装置60は、レールベース63を横置きにして構成したものである。以下、図12、図13、図14及び図15を参照して第3実施形態に係るロボット走行装置60を説明する。
第3実施形態に係るロボット走行装置20は、ケーブルキャリア71をレールベース63の上方に設置していたが、ケーブルキャリア71が設置される位置はこれに限定されない。第4実施形態に係るロボット走行装置80は、第3実施形態に係るロボット走行装置60においてレールベース63の上方に配置されていたケーブルキャリア71を、レールベース63に隣接して配置したものである。以下、図16、図17及び図18を参照して第4実施形態に係るロボット走行装置80を説明する。
