A rebar tying robot may include a rebar tying unit, a conveying unit configured to convey the rebar tying unit, and a control unit configured to control the conveying unit. The conveying unit may include a longitudinal movement mechanism configured to move the rebar tying robot in a front-rear direction and a first three-dimensional distance sensor configured to output first point cloud data which represents a three-dimensional position of a subject in a first field of view by point clouds. The control unit may be configured to execute a first rebar extraction process in which the control unit extracts point clouds from the point clouds included in the first point cloud data and an intersection location identification process in which the control unit identifies a position where the primary rebar and the secondary rebar intersect based on the point clouds extracted in the first rebar extraction process.

Rebar tying robot

A rebar tying robot may include a rebar tying unit, a conveying unit configured to convey the rebar tying unit, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the conveying unit. The conveying unit may include a longitudinal movement mechanism configured to move the rebar tying robot in a front-rear direction, and a first three-dimensional distance sensor configured to output first point cloud data which represents a three-dimensional position of a subject in a first field of view by point clouds. The control unit may be configured to execute a first rebar extraction process in which the control unit extracts point clouds from the point clouds included in the first point cloud data and a rebar model generation process in which the control unit generates a rebar model based on the point clouds extracted in the first rebar extraction process.

A rebar tying robot configured to tie a plurality of first rebars and a plurality of second rebars intersecting the plurality of first rebars at points where the plurality of first rebars and the plurality of second rebars intersect. The rebar tying robot may include a rebar tying machine, a conveying unit configured to convey the rebar tying machine, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the conveying unit. The conveying unit may include a crawler configured to move on the plurality of first rebars and the plurality of second rebars.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a laser line generator that includes a laser beam source, a conversion lens, a lens holder, a rotation axis, a rotation support, a biasing portion, and a gap adjuster. The rotation support abuts the rotation axis and supports the lens holder such that the lens holder rotates about the rotation axis. The biasing portion brings the lens holder and the rotation support closer to each other. The gap adjuster adjusts a gap dimension between the lens holder and the rotation support that are brought closer to each other by the biasing portion.

A laser marker in one aspect of embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a laser light generator, a main body, and a pack attachment portion. The pack attachment portion is configured such that a battery pack, which is chargeable and dischargeable and supplies electric power to the laser light generator, is slidably attached to an outer surface of the main body.

Laser marker

A job-site electric apparatus in one aspect the present disclosure includes a housing, an operation device, a terminal, a separator, a coupling device, and a sealing portion. The separator is configured to separate the housing into a first area and a second area, and includes a through hole that allows communication between the first area and the second area. The first area includes the operation device. The second area includes the terminal. The coupling device passes through the through hole and electrically couple the terminal to the operation device. The sealing portion seals the through hole through which the coupling device passes.
