Robot control system provided with functions of emitting warnings and stopping machine based on distance of machine from portable wireless operation panel
The robot control system includes: a control device for controlling a machine; a portable wireless operation panel for performing wireless communication with the control device to control the machine; a distance measuring unit for measuring the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel; and a warning generator that emits a warning to the operator or stops the machine when the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
1. A robot control system, comprising:
a control device configured to control a machine;
a portable wireless operation panel configured to perform wireless communication with the control device to control the machine;
a distance measuring unit configured to measure a distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel;
a warning generator-configured to emit a warning to an operator or stop the machine in response to the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel exceeding a predetermined threshold value; and
a three-dimensional camera configured to take an image of the portable wireless operation panel or the machine or both,
wherein the distance measuring unit is configured to use the distance measured by the three-dimensional camera between the three-dimensional camera and, the portable wireless operation panel, and/or the machine to measure the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel, and
wherein the three-dimensional camera is provided for the portable wireless operation panel to take an image of the machine and thereby measure the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel.
2. A robot control system, comprising:
a control device configured to control a machine;
a portable wireless operation panel configured to perform-wireless communication with the control device to control the machine;
a distance measuring unit configured to measure a-distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel;
a warning generator configured to emit a warning to an operator or stop the machine in response to the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel exceeding a predetermined threshold value; and
a three-dimensional camera configured to take an image of the portable wireless operation panel or the machine or both,
wherein the distance measuring unit is configured to use the distance measured by the three-dimensional camera between the three-dimensional camera and, the portable wireless operation panel, and/or the machine to measure the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel, and
wherein the three-dimensional camera is mounted on a device communicable with the portable wireless operation panel or the control device, and the device is carriable by the operator so as to take an image of the machine and thereby measure the distance between the machine and the portable wireless operation panel.
