Abstract

Provided is surface treatment system for a large object having high versatility. In a surface treatment system for a large object configured to cause a treatment machine for treating a surface of the object to be held by a leading end portion of a work arm of a work robot and to move the treatment machine relative to the surface of the object by a movement of the work robot thus treating the surface of the object by the treatment machine, there is provided a trackless type work machine mounting the work robot on a self-propelled cart. The work machine mounts a robot moving device for moving the work robot relative to the self-propelled cart at least in a height direction and mounts also a battery capable of supplying traveling power for the self-propelled cart.

Claims (12)

1. A surface treatment system for an object configured to cause a treatment machine for treating a surface of the object to be held by a leading end portion of a work arm of a work robot and to move the treatment machine relative to the surface of the object by a movement of the work robot, thus treating the surface of the object by the treatment machine, the surface treatment system comprising:

a trackless work machine mounting the work robot on a self-propelled cart;

wherein the trackless work machine mounts a robot moving device for moving the work robot relative to the self-propelled cart at least in a height direction and mounts also a battery capable of supplying traveling power for the self-propelled cart;

wherein the trackless work machine comprises, as the robot moving device, an extendible/contractible lift device configured to vertically move a lift table by an extension/contraction movement, and an extendible/contractible feeder device mounted on the lift table and configured to move a feeder table by an extension/contraction movement closer to or away from the lift table in the horizontal direction;

wherein the work robot is mounted on the feeder table;

wherein a control device is provided for controlling the lift device and the feeder device; and

wherein the control device operates the lift device and the feeder device, based on distance information relative to the object determined by a movement distance sensor mounted on the feeder table.

2. The surface treatment system of claim 1 , wherein the trackless work machine comprises a power source connection section configured to receive supply of electric power from a power source section located nearest in its surrounding.

3. The surface treatment system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of trackless work machines comprising a high-place work machine mounting a robot moving device for a high place having a high maximum reach height in a movement of a work robot in a height direction and a low-place work machine mounting a robot moving device for a low place having a low maximum reach height in a movement of a work robot in the height direction.

4. The surface treatment system of claim 1 , wherein the trackless work machine mounts a plurality of kinds of the treatment machine that are exchangeable and detachably attachable to the leading end portion of the work arm respectively.

5. The surface treatment system of claim 1 , wherein the trackless work machine mounts a supply source device for supplying the treatment machine with a fluid to be used in a surface treatment of the object.

6. The surface treatment system of claim 1 , wherein the control device operates the lift device and the feeder device, based on the distance information relative to the object determined by the movement distance sensor and on three-dimensional shape data of the object.
