A robot control device, which causes a robot mounted on a transport vehicle to be stopped on the basis of an external force applied to the robot, is equipped with a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the transport vehicle is currently traveling, and a control unit configured to cause the robot to be stopped in the case that the transport vehicle is currently traveling, and to enable the robot to be operated in the case that the transport vehicle is not currently traveling.

Robot control device, robot control method, and collaborative operation unit

A control device configured to control a robot including an articulated arm having a plurality of joints each provided with a motor and turned by driving of the motor and a base supporting the articulated arm includes: a temperature information obtaining unit configured to obtain temperature information about the plurality of joints; a joint specifying unit configured to specify one of the joints that requires cooling, based on the obtained temperature information about the plurality of joints; and a motor control unit configured to control the motor of each of the plurality of joints, wherein, when the joint specifying unit specifies one of the joints, the motor control unit controls the motor of at least one of the joints that is located on a side closer to the base from the specified joint so as to turn the joint on the base side for a given time.

Control device, grease cooling method and management device

A predicting device of a production system includes a machine learning device that learns the relationship between a change in measurement data indicating the state of a power supply and a failure which occurs in the power supply. The machine learning device learns the measurement data including at least a measurement value of electric power consumption in a factory by correlating a state variable indicating the current state of an environment with judgment data indicating a failure notification indicating the occurrence of a failure. A control device of the production system includes a receiving section that receives a prediction notification of a failure which occurs in the power supply, the failure being predicted based on a change in the measurement data indicating the state of the power supply, and a retracting operation control section that makes a working machine transition to a safely retracted state when receiving the prediction notification.

Production system

A system includes: a connector including a first connector part connected to a first device and a second connector part being attachable and detachable with respect to the first connector part and being connected to a second device; and a detachment switch provided for the connector and operated when the second connector part is disconnected from the first connector part. The first device is configured to be triggered to perform a predetermined process when the detachment switch is operated while the second connector part remains joined to the first connector part.

System and connector

A wireless teaching pendant for operating a control apparatus of a robot or a machine tool by wireless communication includes a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with the control apparatus and a transmission interval change unit for changing a transmission interval of periodic data transmitted by the wireless communication unit to the control apparatus.

Control apparatus of robot or machine tool, wireless teaching pendant, and automatic machine system

An industrial robot system includes a first deviation calculation unit calculating a first deviation between a first force detection value and a first force estimation value, a first command output unit outputting an operation command, a stop command, a deceleration command, or a deceleration stop command to a robot when a first deviation is larger than a first threshold value, and a fourth command output unit outputting the operation command, the stop command, the deceleration command, or the deceleration stop command according to a deviation pattern when the first deviation includes a common deviation pattern.

Industrial robot system and control method thereof

An alarm display system includes: an IC tag storing ID information for identifying components of a control device; an IC tag reading part capable of reading the ID information stored in the IC tag in a non-contact manner; a storage part storing alarm handling information in association with alarm information for identifying a type of an alarm and the component related to the alarm; a handling information extracting part extracting, when an alarm is generated, alarm handling information related to the component which is identified by the ID information from the alarm handling information corresponding to the alarm based on the alarm information and the ID information read by the IC tag reading part; and a handling information display part displaying the alarm handling information extracted by the handling information extracting part.

Alarm display system using non-contact type IC tag

A control system () comprises a control apparatus () for controlling a driven body, and a pendant () having an emergency stop switch (), wherein the control apparatus () includes an emergency stop circuit () which causes the operation of the driven body to stop when the emergency stop switch () is operated, a detach-ready setting switch () which switches detach-ready setting information to 'detach mode' when connecting or disconnecting the pendant () to or from the control apparatus () and otherwise to 'normal mode', and a connection state monitoring unit () which sends information concerning the connection state of the pendant () to the emergency stop circuit (), and wherein the control apparatus () disables the operation of the emergency stop circuit () when the detach-ready setting information is set to &#x201c;detach mode&#x201d; and when the pendant () is disconnected from the control apparatus ().

Control system equipped with detachable control panel

In a case in which an operation is alternately carried out by apparatus-and the apparatus-in cooperation with a robot, an operator carries out operation within an operation range of each of the apparatuses during the interruption of power supply to the apparatus-and the apparatus-. Even if the operator approaches or enters the apparatus-or the apparatus-, an emergency stop unit is not informed of a notice of such approach or entry as far as the interruption of power to the apparatus is confirmed. In a state in which the interruption of power is not confirmed, on the other hand, the emergency stop unit is informed of the notice of operator's approach or entry, and the robot system is emergency stopped.
