Programming method of a robot arm

1. A programming method of a robot arm by using an operational position icon corresponding to an operation sub-process comprising:

setting and saving operational configurations of the robot arm;

establishing an operation process of the robot arm;

selecting the operational position icon for applying to the operation sub-process;

displaying a selected operational position icon and an operational configuration sub-icon;

modifying an operational configuration displayed on the operational configuration sub-icon; and

completing the operation process of the robot arm;

wherein the operational position icon adjoins the operational configuration sub-icon, and configurations of the operation sub-process are modified when configurations of the operational configuration sub-icon are modified.

2. The programming method of claim 1 , wherein the operation sub-process is programmed to generate a plurality of standard operation sub-process according to the operational configuration, the operational configuration is default, and the operation sub-process saves the operational position icon as an operation name or an operation code.

3. A programming method of a robot arm by using an operational position icon corresponding to an operation sub-process comprising:

setting and saving operational configurations of the robot arm;

establishing an operation process of the robot arm;

selecting the operational position icon for applying to the operation sub-process;

displaying a selected operational position icon and an operational configuration sub-icon;

modifying an operational configuration displayed on the operational configuration sub-icon; and

completing the operation process of the robot arm;

wherein the operational configuration comprises a workpiece weight, a tool center point, or a base, the base is generated by a three-point base generation method or a visual base generation method, and the three-point base generation method comprises detecting coordinates of three points on different axes of the base by using a meter device disposed on the robot arm for establishing and saving the base.

4. The programming method of claim 3 , wherein the robot arm pre-detects a tool center point corresponding to a tool currently used and saves tool center point data of the tool.

5. The programming method of claim 4 , wherein the tool center point data comprises relative position data between the robot arm and the tool for calibrating a motion of the robot arm.

6. The programming method of claim 3 , wherein the visual base generation method comprises:

sticking a calibration plate on the base;

hauling the robot arm on top of the calibration plate;

calibrating an inclination of the robot arm automatically;

the robot arm moving and detecting the base according to a predetermined focal length so as to establishing and saving the base.

7. The programming method of claim 3 , wherein when a program of the operation process of the robot arm is not modified, a default operation process is directly applied to the program for executing the operation sub-process.

8. The programming method of claim 1 , wherein when a default operation process or an approximate operation process is applied, a selected operational position icon previously stored is changed in order to apply the operation sub-process for executing the operation process of the robot arm.

9. The programming method of claim 1 , wherein the selected operational position icon and the operational configuration sub-icon are modifiable and displayed on a display of an operation panel of the robot arm.
