Abstract
Synchronous operation of a multi-joint robot and a rotating table is facilitated by the provision of a multi-joint robot controller. The robot controller detects the position of an arm of the multi-joint robot relative to a coordinate system assigned to the multijoint robot and the position of a specific point on the rotating table relative to the same coordinate system. The spatial relationship of the table relative to the multi-joint robot is calculated based on the coordinates of a plurality of positions of the specific point on the rotating table.
