A teaching device for creating a program using icons representing functions that form a control program for an industrial machine, the teaching device being provided with: a screen display generation unit that generates a program creation screen which has a predetermined region for arranging multiple icons to create a control program; and a relationship display generation unit that, on the basis of information related to multiple icons, extracts two or more icons which are related to each other in terms of processing contents from among the multiple icons arranged on the predetermined region, and displays the relationships between the extracted two or more icons so as to be visibly recognized.

A programmable power tool and method and systems of programming a power tool using wireless communication. An external device having a processor and a transceiver establishes a communication link with the power tool. The external device receives, with the transceiver, a first mode profile stored on the power tool. The first mode profile is defined by a profile type and a first value associated with a parameter for executing the profile type. The external device displays a control screen including the profile type and the parameter at the first value, and receives a user input. The external device generates, in response to the user input, a second mode profile by modifying the parameter to be at a second value. The external device transmits, with the transceiver, the second mode profile to the power tool.

A robot system includes: a robot; a plurality of operation terminals that receive an input of a password for acquiring operation authority of the robot and an operation input for operating the robot from a user; and a robot controller communicable with the operation terminals. The robot controller drives, in a controlled manner, the robot according to operation from a single operation terminal among the operation terminals. The robot controller includes a password storage unit that stores a password for granting operation authority of the robot to the operation terminal. The robot controller further includes an operation authority grant processing unit that grants operation authority of the robot to a single operation terminal to which a proper predetermined password stored in the password storage unit is first input in a state in which operation authority of the robot is not granted to any operation terminal.

Provided is a numerical controller including a wait management table that stores wait management information of each machining program, a wait controller that performs wait control of each axis based on the wait management information with respect to an axis controller that controls each axis of each path, and a management unit that updates the wait management information of each machining program stored in the wait management table.

This control device includes: a determination unit that determines whether an operation mode which has been set is a manual operation mode; an image display unit that causes a manipulation image corresponding to the manual operation mode to be displayed on a display screen, if the determination unit has determined that the operation mode is the manual operation mode; an assessment unit that assess the movement state of a drive shaft on the basis of a manipulation performed with respect to the manipulation image; and a control unit that controls the drive shaft on the basis of the movement state assessed by the assessment unit.

This control device includes: an image display unit that displays, on a display screen, an operation image for changing a driving mode of a driving axis; a determination unit that determines the driving mode on the basis of an operation on the operation image; and a control unit that controls the driving axis on the basis of the driving mode determined by the determination unit.

Provided is a teaching device that is used to create a program for measuring, with a visual sensor, markers installed in a work space, the teaching device comprising a user interface creation unit that creates a user interface for inputting setting information pertaining to the measurement of a marker, wherein the user interface creation unit makes it possible to use first setting information input for a first marker in settings for a second marker in the user interface.

In the present invention, robot commands are displayed together in order to facilitate the understanding of the flow of robot commands. This robot teaching device comprises: a display unit; an edit screen image control unit for displaying, on the display unit, an edit screen image for editing a robot program that teaches how to move a robot; and a wizard control unit that, when a robot command is added to the robot program in the edit screen image, displays at least a wizard for setting a parameter value of the robot command on the display unit. The robot command added in the edit screen image may be a representative command associated with the addition of at least one other robot command besides the aforementioned robot command, and the representative command may be deleted from the robot program after the wizard has ended.

A teach pendant includes an input unit and allowing teaching of operation of a robot by an input to the input unit, the teach pendant further includes a measurement reference surface which comes into surface contact with a measured surface of the robot, a tilt sensor whose position is fixed with respect to the measurement reference surface, and an output means which outputs a detection value of the tilt sensor to a control device of the robot in a state where the measurement reference surface is in surface contact with the measured surface and when a predetermined input operation is performed on the input unit or a contact detection sensor for detecting surface contact between the measurement reference surface and the measured surface detects the surface contact.
