INDUSTRIAL ROBOT HAVING IMPROVED SAFETY CONTROL PERFORMANCE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

An industrial robot having improved safety control performance, comprising: a base support (110); a mechanical arm; joints (130), each of which connects two adjacent mechanical arm sections (121); an actuator (140), having one end connected to the mechanical arm and the other end adapted to be connected to a tool (200); attitude sensors (133), provided on the joints, or on the joints and the actuator; motor encoders (132), each of which is provided on a transmission device (131) of a joint; and control modules, a first control module and a second control module among the control modules obtaining first safety information and second safety information respectively, and when the first safety information and second safety information are found to be inconsistent by comparison, controlling the robot to perform a safe action. Also disclosed is a control method for the industrial robot. The industrial robot is high in safety and low in cost.
