Generation of a wrinkle is prevented in a sticker when the sticker is peeled off from a release paper. A sticker affixing system includes an articulated robot, a controller that controls the articulated robot, a suction tool attached to a distal end of the articulated robot, and a sticker feeder that conveys a release paper. The suction tool is sucked to the sticker on the release paper. The controller causes the articulated robot to execute an operation of moving the suction tool in parallel with the release paper at a constant speed of the release paper in synchronization with the sticker feeder, an operation of peeling off the sticker at an edge A of a peeling base of the release paper, and an operation of affixing the sticker to the object to which the sticker is affixed.

Sticker affixing system, method to be executed by sticker affixing system, and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program to be executed by sticker affixing system

In the present invention, contact between an operator and a robot that moves a workpiece is avoided, and an effect on an article is reduced. This robot controller (), which controls the operation speed of a robot () that moves a workpiece (), comprises: a prediction unit () that predicts contact from the position of a robot and the position of a person or object; and an acceleration change unit () that, when contact is predicted by the prediction unit, changes the acceleration at which the speed of the robot is reduced to perform an emergency stop in accordance with the presence of the workpiece.

In a seal affixing system, adsorption pores are arranged plurally along a first direction and a second direction on an adsorption face, and the plurality of adsorption pores are sectioned into a first suction region, a second suction region, and a third suction region containing a plurality of adsorption pores from a downstream side to an upstream side along a movement direction, and a controller controls a suction power generator to individually suck the first suction region, the second suction region, and the third suction region. According to the seal affixing system, a turbulent spot will not be generated in the affixed seal.

A control system () includes: a control device () that controls a robot (); a three-dimensional sensor () that acquires positional information of a worker and the robot (), which are included in a viewing-field area in a three-dimensional space; and a support device () that provides a user interface () for virtually setting a cooperation region in which the worker and the robot () are allowed to work. The control device () controls stopping or the speed of the robot () on the basis of whether or not the position of the worker or the robot () calculated on the basis of the positional information is included in the cooperation region, which is set by using the user interface (), as well as the relative positional relationship between the worker and the robot () calculated on the basis of the positional information.

Control system, control method, and control unit

A highly reliable determination device to determine the distance to an object even if general-purpose optical distance measurement modules or the like are used. The determination device determines that an abnormality has occurred in at least one of a plurality of optical distance measurement modules when the distances respectively indicated by the optical distance measurement modules deviate from each other by a predetermined length or more.

Determination device and control method of determination device

An optical safety sensor is inexpensively implemented. An optical safety sensor includes: a plurality of light projectors/receivers (a first light projector/receiver and a second light projector/receiver), which includes light projecting portions and light receiving portions; distance measurement portions, which measure distances using the time from light projecting to light receiving; and detection portions, which detect, based on measurement results, an abnormality occurring in any one of the plurality of light projectors/receivers; each of the light receiving portion provided in the plurality of light projectors/receivers receives reflected light caused by the light projected from the light projecting portions of all the plurality of light projectors/receivers.
