Abstract
A control device controls a robot and an articulated shaft of the robot, the articulated shaft being attached to the distal end of an arm of the robot. The control device includes an operation program analysis unit that calculates a movable range of a combination of the robot and articulated shaft based on an operation program, and a robot/tool moving distance calculation unit that, based on the calculated movable range, sets an amount of movement of the articulated shaft for moving the articulated shaft to a boundary position as a specified value, and calculates the amount of movement of the distal end of the arm when the articulated shaft is moved to the boundary position, and the amounts of movement of the articulated shaft and the distal end of the arm of the robot for at least one teaching point other than the boundary position.
