Abstract
A trajectory control device includes: a contact sensor that can contact side surfaces of a workpiece; an actuator that moves a trajectory tracking member and the contact sensor; and a trajectory controller that calculates XY coordinates of a trajectory on the workpiece that is placed in an arbitrary position, by transforming XY coordinates of the trajectory on the workpiece in a reference position, based on positional information about the side surfaces of the workpiece in the reference position and positional information about the side surfaces of the workpiece placed in the arbitrary position. The positional information about the side surfaces of the workpiece placed in the arbitrary position is obtained by the contact sensor.
