Virtual material handling systems can be used to drive the operation of real material handling systems for purposes such as testing and validation of the components of the real material handling systems. The real material handling system, in turn, can provide data regarding system operation which may be fed back to the virtual material handling system to control its function.

An apparatus is disclosed for modifying the motion of a tool centerpoint associated with the function element of a robot arm. The motion to be modified is produced during an automatic mode of operation in which the tool centerpoint travels along predetermined paths between programmed points at a programmed velocity. The apparatus is effective to modify the motion during the automatic mode in response to sensed deviations from the predetermined path. Two alternative schemes of modifying the motion are disclosed. A first alternative scheme returns the tool centerpoint to the predetermined path before it reaches the programmed point defining the end of the path. A second alternative scheme produces a new end point offset from the programmed end point and effects motion along offset paths which are translated and rotated from the predetermined paths defined by the programmed points. Both schemes are suitable for effecting modification of motion in response to deviations which are commanded manually by an operator or automatically by equipment monitoring the workpiece processing effected by the function element.

Apparatus for moving a robot arm through a series of nonprogrammed points defining a nonprogrammed path in response to coordinate data supplied by an external device. During the automatic execution of a programmed cycle of operation, a robot control causes the robot arm to move to a predetermined programmed position; and in response to a programmed external path control code, an external path control generator serially provides position data defining the nonprogrammed points. The robot control moves the robot arm through the nonprogrammed points, after which the programmed cycle of operation is continued.

A method and apparatus are provided for cooperatively controlling motion between a tool centerpoint associated with a function element carried by a manipulator and rotation of a workpiece carried by a positioner. The tool centerpoint follows a linear path interpolated between programmed locations at a velocity resulting in a relative velocity between the tool centerpoint and the workpiece surface equal to a programmed velocity. Differences in radial distance of the tool centerpoint from the axis of rotation of the workpiece at successive programmed locations result in incremental velocity modifications along the path to maintain the relative velocity at the programmed value.

A control system for a conveyor system of the type having a first constant speed conveyor with a drop-out zone and a second variable speed downstream conveyor receiving products from the drop-out zone. The drop-out zone comprises a plurality of conveyor rollers driven by a drive mechanism operated by a constant speed prime mover assembly. An actuator engages and disengages the drive mechanism with the drop-out zone rollers. The control system has a processing circuit configured to ascertain the velocity of the downstream conveyor and configured to match the effective velocity of the first conveyor drop-out zone to that of the downstream conveyor by use of a periodic varying duty cycle signal that controls the actuator via an output device in communication with the processing circuit. The processing circuit also varies the ON-time and OFF-time of the varying duty cycle signal to automatically control energizing of the output device to accomplish the velocity match. The processing circuit is also capable of changing the period of the duty cycle signal when required.

A manipulator and control are provided for moving a function element carried by the manipulator in accordance with programmed input signals defining positions and path velocities therebetween of a tool centerpoint associated with the function element. The path velocity is made susceptible of variation in accordance with unprogrammed variations of a parameter manually or automatically produced. Motion of the tool centerpoint is effected by interpolation of intermediate point along a predetermined path between any two preprogrammed positions. Each intermediate point is displaced from its predecessor by an increment computed in accordance with a fixed increment interval period and an instantaneously variable increment velocity. Incremental velocity values are computed selectively in accordance with a simple function relating the variable parameter and velocity and in accordance with the preprogrammed definition of motion.

Apparatus for adjusting the position of a robot arm in response to coordinate data supplied by an external user process control. During the execution of a programmed cycle of operation, a robot control causes the robot arm to move to a predetermined programmed position. In response to a programmed adjust function code, the robot control requests change-of-position information from the user process control. Depending on the actual position of the robot arm, the user process control may transmit a set of adjusted coordinate data to the robot control defining an adjusted position. The robot control moves the robot arm to the adjusted position and proceeds with the programmed cycle of operation.

A method and apparatus are provided for providing for controlled oscillation of a tool centerpoint associated with a function element carried by manipulator simultaneously with motion of a workpiece feature relative to a predetermined location. The tool centerpoint describes a predetermined pattern relative to the workpiece feature as a result of the combined motion. Tool centerpoint oscillation occurs in an oscillation path between two extremes determined by pattern parameters defining pattern amplitude measured with respect to a pattern longitudinal axis. The direction of the oscillation path is defined by input signals representing angles measured relative to a rectangular coordinate system used for defining the predetermined location. The rate of tool centerpoint motion is defined by an input signal representing velocity.
