20100262275 | LOAD COMPENSATION FOR ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS - Disclosed is a method and system for compensating for the load a part places on a part positioner system that positions the part for work operations by a robot. The part positioner system rotates a part holding assembly about the axis of rotation of a shoulder drive. The part holding assembly may have a column that extends perpendicular to the shoulder center line. A counter weight system is incorporated into the column that includes a counter weight pack that is moved along the length of the column. The shoulder drive drives the part and part holding assembly load in order to measure a torque applied to the shoulder drive. A load offset may be calculated based on the applied torque. The counter weight pack may then be moved to a position on the column calculated to balance the load of the part and part holding assembly. Alternatively, the counter weight may be moved empirically in a feedback loop in response to repeated torque measurements of the shoulder drive until an optimum torque is achieved at the shoulder drive. | 10-14-2010 |
20130247359 | ROTARY ACTUATED AXIAL CLAMP - Disclosed is a rotary actuated axial clamp that includes a primary fixture, having a rotatable primary clamp, having primary clamp fingers that engage secondary clamp fingers on a stationary secondary clamp. The primary fixture is attached to a positioner, while the secondary fixture is attached to the work piece. Different secondary fixtures can be utilized to fit the shape and size of the work piece, while maintaining a secondary clamp that is able to engage the primary clamp of the primary fixture. The primary fixture can consequently be utilized with numerous different work pieces having different shapes and sizes by simply modifying a secondary fixture to adapt to the size and shape of the work piece. Roller engagement of the primary clamp and secondary clamp reduces the force required to clamp and unclamp the primary and secondary fixtures. This reduces problems associated with attaching a work piece to a positioner. | 09-26-2013 |
20140015181 | OFFSET INDEX WELDING POSITIONER - Disclosed is a two station positioner for positioning work pieces for mounting and working at the same time. A first arm positioner can be located in a mounting position for mounting a work piece on the first arm positioner, while the other arm positioner is located in a working position, where another work piece can be welded or machined. The first positioning arm, in the mounting position, is sufficiently low to allow workers to mount the work piece without the use of elevated platforms. A pedestal exchange platform can then be indexed to place the first positioning arm with the mounted piece in the working position and the other positioning arm in the mounting position. In this manner, workers can mount work pieces while other work pieces are being worked. In the working position, the positioning arm is rotated on a horizontal axis, which reduces programming complexity for robotic welders or machines. | 01-16-2014 |
