It is proposed that the test installation additionally have a modelling device (9) which is connected to the first data bus (3) and simulates peripheral components of the real robot installation, so that the control programs can be tested without the peripheral components. The invention also comprises an appropriate test method.
The invention relates to a control method for a robot (1) having a plurality of movable robot axes (2, 4, 6), in particular for a painting robot (1) or a manipulating robot, comprising the following steps: (a) predetermining a robot path by means of a plurality of path points through which a reference point of the robot (1) is intended to travel; (b) controlling drive motors of the individual robot axes (2, 4, 6) according to the predetermined robot path, such that the reference point of the robot (1) travels through the predetermined robot path; (c) precalculating the mechanical loading (My1, Mx1, Fx1, Fy1, Fz1, Fx2, Fy2, Fz2, Mx2, My2, Mz2) that occurs within at least one of the robot axes (2, 4, 6) between two joints when travelling through the robot path ahead; and also (d) adjusting the control of the drive motors of the robot axes (2, 4, 6) on the basis of the precalculated mechanical loading (My1, Mx1, Fx1, Fy1, Fz1, Fx2, Fy2, Fz2, Mx2, My2, Mz2), such that a mechanical overload is avoided.
The aim of the invention is to provide a painting facility for painting production parts, which is compact and enables the reliable deposition of paint overspray from a crude gas flow. To this end, the painting facility comprises the following elements: a painting cubicle wherein the production parts can be painted with paint; a conveyor device used to transport the production parts to be painted in a direction of transport through the painting cubicle; a deposition and/or filter facility for cleaning a crude gas flow leaving the painting cubicle, that has picked up paint overspray in the painting cubicle, the deposition and/or filter facility comprising at least one filter device for separating the paint overspray from the crude gas flow; and at least one clean gas line for a clean gas flow that can be obtained by cleaning the crude gas flow by means of the at least one filter device.
The aim of the invention is to provide a method for operating a filter device for cleaning a crude gas flow loaded with wet paint overspray, according to which wet paint overspray is deposited on at least one filter element in order to separate the wet paint overspray from the crude gas flow, an auxiliary filter material absorbing at least part of the wet paint overspray, and auxiliary filter material loaded with wet paint overspray is collected in an auxiliary filter material receiving container, said method enabling the auxiliary filter material to be replaced as late as possible in an efficient and cost-saving manner. To this end, during the operation of the filter device, at least one physical and/or chemical property of a portion of the auxiliary filter material collected in the auxiliary filter material receiving container is measured.
