Problems solved by technology

[0008] The aforementioned solutions somewhat complicate the implementation of the portable terminal, which needs to be equipped with an appropriate stand and related means for the physical interconnection of the replaceable modules; the replaceable modules are also subject to frequent handling, which may cause confusion and damage, as well as rapid wear and tear of their connections, and the risk of bad work afterwards

Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 An industrial robot comprising a manipulator 1 , a control unit 2 and a portable programming terminal or teaching operating ring 3 is shown. The manipulator 1 has a plurality of parts that move according to respective axes, articulated by means of a joint 1a and an end wrist 1b with a universal tool 1c. The manipulator 1 is connected to its control part 2 by means of a cable 4 . Terminal 3 includes at least

[0020] - Display 3a, with which the machine status, programming steps, possible warnings and various parameters can be monitored, such as the position of the axes of the manipulator; the display is used both when programming the positions of the axes and the steps of the motion program, as well as when monitoring the part 2 remotely 3a;

[0021] - a set of keys for controlling the movement of the axes of the manipulator 1, some of these keys are denoted 3b; said set of keys comprises in particular keys for selecting the desired kinematic reference syste...

Abstract

An industrial robot comprises a manipulator (1) having a control unit (2) and a portable terminal (3), the unit and the terminal being able to communicate in wireless mode for executing a robot programming session. The unit (2) and the terminal (3) are configured so as to implement a step of mutual logic coupling, which is required so as to enable the programming session, only when the terminal (3) is in a substantially predefined physical position (5) close to the unit (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to industrial robots and is considered in particular as a possible application for robots having associated therewith a portable terminal also designed to communicate in wireless mode with robot control components. Background technique [0002] "Wireless" is here meant to include communication that transmits signals wirelessly by means of electromagnetic waves, preferably by means of radio frequencies, but possibly also by means of ultrasound or infrared radiation or radiation in other frequency domains. [0003] Programming a robot basically means teaching the robot the trajectories of points of its manipulator that are automatically repeated during the usual steps of operation in order to perform a given operation. The robot can thus operate at least in automatic and manual modes, which modes can usually be selected by means of the robot control means. When the manual mode is selected, for example, for programming or "teaching"...
