Abstract
The interference avoiding system is provided with an automatic correcting means for correcting a code string programmed for each robot, so that the communication and the waiting processes to check the interference are automatically inserted. In order to check the interference, a target position is transmitted to a checking device immediately before the robot starts operating, thereby to check the interference area by the checking device. Instead, data of the interference area is fed to a robot controller at the start of operation, and the communication is established only when the robot moves from inside to outside the interference area or vice versa. An operation command for the robots is selectively corrected automatically, that is, an operation command to move the robots in a direction not related to the interference direction is not corrected.
