Robot tool`s e.g. welding torch, reference point controlling method, involves monitoring position of tool section in two measuring positions by four inductive proximity switches, and moving section subsequently into one of positions

摘要

The method involves driving a tool section in a measuring area of a measuring device (30) in a measuring position in a robotically guided manner. A position of the section is monitored in the position by inductive proximity switches (35.1, 35.2). The section is subsequently moved into another measuring position in a robotically guided manner. The tool section is monitored in one of the positions by proximity switches (35.3, 35.4). An independent claim is also included for a measuring device.
