Faster and more accurate industrial robots

Abstract

Describes a new controller for industrial robots. It has new computer software that allows functions to be improved without interfering with the overall program structure and improved man‐machine communication for different application areas. The controller uses state of the art electronics, including a 32 bit microprocessor to control the robots and peripherals. It has a windows‐style interface to make it easy to program and a portable programming unit which functions in the same way as a personal computer. Outlines features of the controller including the ability to creating training programs for operators on a PC.
