Abstract

A teaching device includes a motion image generating unit that generates a motion image in which a workpiece is moved, a position detecting unit that detects the grip position in which a hand grips, and a teaching-point setting unit that sets a teaching point. The position detecting unit detects the grip position on the workpiece when the motion image generating unit moves the workpiece in the motion image. The teaching-point setting unit sets the teaching point based on the grip position on the workpiece.

Claims (10)

1. A teaching device of a robot for setting a teaching point of a robot that grips and moves a workpiece, the teaching device comprising:

a motion image generating unit that generates a three-dimensional motion image in which the workpiece is moved;

a position detecting unit that detects a grip position in which a hand attached to the robot grips on the workpiece displayed in the motion image; and

a teaching-point setting unit that sets the teaching point; wherein

a relationship between the grip position on the workpiece and the teaching point is determined in advance,

the position detecting unit detects the grip position on the workpiece when the motion image generating unit moves the workpiece in the motion image, and

the teaching-point setting unit sets the teaching point based on the grip position.

2. The robot teaching device according to claim 1 , wherein the position detecting unit detects grip positions at predetermined intervals based on the motion image of the workpiece.

3. The robot teaching device according to claim 1 , wherein a motion of the workpiece is determined in advance, and

the motion image generating unit generates the motion image of the workpiece based on a position of the workpiece at start of the motion and a position of the workpiece at end of the motion that are set by an operator.
