Abstract
An apparatus for starting a playback action of a teaching-playback robot, which is simple in construction and capable of handling works of various kinds or types, essentially including in combination: a start signal generating mechanism adapted to produce an output start signal upon detecting arrival of a work being transferred by a conveyer at a predetermined position upstream of a teaching-playback robot; a discriminating mechanism for detecting the type of the workpiece which has arrived; a delay amount selector mechanism for selecting a delay amount according to the type of the detected workpiece; and a start delay mechanism for delaying the start of the playback action of the teaching-playback robot by the selected delay amount from the point in time of production of the start signal. In a preferred form of the invention, the start delay mechanism includes a plurality of counters for simultaneously controlling the delay amounts of a plurality of workpieces which are successively transferred by a conveyer.
