Method for operating robot mountable on room ceiling in production line, involves docking base region of robot to holding device such that robot is movable about pivot axis around ceiling of room

摘要

The method involves docking a base region (14) of a robot (12) to a holding device (30) such that the robot is movable about a pivot axis (34) around a mounting surface such as ceiling of a room. The robot is moved between two work stations (38, 40) by the holding device for performing tasks, where the holding device includes a docking area (32) connected to the base region of the robot, where the pivot axis is spaced from the docking area. An independent claim is also included for a holding device for a robot, comprising a docking area.
