ABSTRACT:
A robot position teaching system and method including a robot controller to control a robot, a visual sensor to measure a three-dimensional position, an image processing device to measure a position by processing and analyzing an image recognized by the visual sensor, and a position teaching unit provided with a grasping portion having a size which can be grasped by a hand of an operator, and an index which can visually be recognized by the visual sensor, and is disposed at a distal end of a rod-type body extending from the grasping portion. The operator turns on a moving switch of the position teaching unit such that the robot controller moves the robot toward a position of the index recognized by a camera. When an approach teaching switch of the position teaching unit is turned on after movement of the robot is stopped, data of a current position of the index recognized by the camera is stored as teaching position data. On the other hand, by turning on an arrival teaching switch, a current position of the robot is stored as the teaching position data.
