Abstract

See full text

A linear transfer system for a collaborative robot includes a linear bearing extending along a linear axis. A carriage on the linear bearing moves along the linear axis and supports a collaborative robot. One or more load cells are supported on either axial end of the carriage. A motor causes movement of the carriage along the linear axis under the control of a motor control circuit. The circuit receives input signals indicative of forces applied to the load cells. During a programming mode for the system, the circuit may generate control signals for the motor causing movement of the carriage along the linear axis corresponding to the forces applied to the load cells. During an operating mode of the system, the circuit may detect collisions by comparing the forces to a threshold and generating control signals to halt movement of the carriage if a predetermined condition is met.
