GONDOLA ROBOT POSITION MEASUREMENT DEVICE TO PREVENT AN ENCODER FROM BEING DAMAGED DUE TO THE MOVEMENT OF A WIRE ROPE AND A GONDOLA ROBOT SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A gondola robot position measurement device and a gondola robot system having the same are provided to accurately measure the length variation of a wire rope due to the movement of a gondola robot by stably coming in contact with an encoder roller unit using the elasticity of the wire rope.;CONSTITUTION: A gondola robot position measurement device (30) comprises a movement guide unit (40), an encoder roller unit (50), an encoder (60), and a control unit. The movement guide unit is installed on a gondola robot which is inserted with a wire rope. The movement guide unit moves with the wire rope and the gondola robot. The encoder roller unit is elastically engaged with the wire rope. The encoder roller unit has an encoder roller which rotates on the wire rope. The encoder counts and outputs the number of rotations of the encoder roller. The control unit receives the number of rotations from the encoder to calculate the vertical moving distance of the gondola robot which moves on the wire rope.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
