MANIPULATOR SYSTEM FOR THE COORDINATED CONTROL OF AT LEAST TWO MANIPULATORS

摘要

A manipulator system for the coordinated control of at least two manipulators. The system includes a main computer that is configured for carrying out a sequence control, and at least two multiaxial manipulators. A manipulator controller and at least one axis controller are associated with each manipulator. The manipulator controllers are spatially separate from the main computer and set up in their own housings. Each manipulator preferably includes converters for controlling the actuators of the axes of the manipulator, wherein the converter associated with an actuator is situated in the vicinity of the actuator in such a way that the converter can be moved along with a movement of the associated manipulator.
