- step S104 If the first control device 14 determines in step S104 that the work of assembling the robot 12 to the article 41 has not been completed, the process for the article 41 ends. Thereafter, the control unit 23 performs control to move the main body of the robot 12 to the work start position and control to wait the main body of the robot 12 at the work start position until a new article 41 enters the robot work area (step S101). .
- the controller 23 controls the velocity vector of the robot 12 moved by the moving device 13 and the velocity vector of the position of the end effector 31 of the robot 12, the moving direction of the main body of the robot 12 by the moving device 13, that is, the X-axis direction
- the velocity vector component of is created by appropriately sharing the velocity vector of the robot 12 and the velocity vector of the position of the end effector 31 of the robot 12 . That is, the moving direction of the main body of the robot 12 by the moving device 13, that is, the velocity vector component in the X-axis direction is equally divided between the velocity vector of the robot 12 and the velocity vector of the position of the end effector 31 of the robot 12.
- the velocity vector of the robot 12 and the velocity vector of the position of the end effector 31 of the robot 12 may be shared at an arbitrary ratio. Some examples of sharing the velocity vector of the robot 12 and the velocity vector of the position of the end effector 31 of the robot 12 will be listed.
- control unit 23 determines that the moving distance of (the main body of) the robot 12 moved by the moving device 13 is set to Control is performed so that the movement distance of the position of the end effector 31 is greater than that.
- control unit 23 determines that the speed of the velocity vector of the robot 12 moving by the moving device 13 is: Control is performed so that the speed of the position of the end effector 31 of the robot 12 is greater than the speed of the speed vector.
- the moving device 13 moves the body of the robot 12 in the X-axis direction as much as possible, and moves the end effector 31 of the robot 12 in the X-axis direction as little as possible.
- the arm of the robot 12 reaches the dead limit and exceeds the movable range of the arm of the robot 12 .
- the work of the robot 12 can be performed with higher accuracy.
- the main body of the robot 12 is quickly moved in the X-axis direction by a moving device 13 to reduce the influence on the original work of the robot 12. ⁇ can be done.
- the control unit 23 controls the speed of the position of the end effector 31 of the robot 12 in the velocity vector to be greater than the speed in the velocity vector of the robot 12 that is moved by the moving device 13. .
- the moving device 13 is slower in acceleration than the end effector 31 of the robot 12 , and therefore has poor followability to the article 41 conveyed by the conveying device 11 . Therefore, in the third embodiment, the moving speed of the end effector 31 of the robot 12 is prioritized over the moving speed of the robot 12 moved by the moving device 13 in order to quickly follow the article 41 transported by the transporting device 11. .
- the article 41 conveyed by the conveying device 11 approaches the end of the robot work area, or the movement device 13 approaches the end of the range in which the movement device 13 can move. If not, by controlling the speed in the velocity vector of the position of the end effector 31 of the robot 12 to be greater than the speed in the velocity vector of the robot 12 moving by the moving device 13, To quickly follow an end effector 31 of a robot 12 to an article 41 conveyed by a conveying device 11. ⁇
- the first form, the second form, and the third form may be executed in combination as appropriate, or may be selectively switched and executed.
