Abstract
A system and process is provided for controlling a robot path of a robot including providing a main path for movement of the robot based on path data having points along the main path and providing a safe evacuation path from each point in the main path to get to a safe position. The main path is formed with safety evacuation path considerations in mind such that along any point on ride path the robot can be safely moved to a safety point or to the unload position or safe position.

6. A process for controlling a robot path of a multiaxial robot having a tool center point, the process comprising:
-
moving the tool center point along a travel path defined by location points;
defining plural safety paths by location points, with each of the location points of the travel path associated with one of the safety paths;
upon a need to remove the robot from the travel path moving the robot along one of the safety paths based on a current location point of the robot along the travel path. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A multiaxial robot path control system, comprising:
-
system memory means for storing data;
a multiaxial robot with turntable;
a control unit for moving a tool center point along a travel path defined by location points saved in said memory means; and
plural safety paths saved in said memory means, with each of the location points of the travel path associated with one of the safety paths, wherein upon a need to remove the robot from the travel path, the control unit moves the robot along one of the safety paths based on a current location point of the robot along the travel path. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
