Method for operating an industrial robot
First Claim
1. A method for operating an industrial robot using an operating device, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an operating device comprising a microprocessor, wherein the operating device communicates with a control of the industrial robot;
said operating device comprising a graphic operator interface having a touch display, and an operating element associated with the touch display, said touch display being surrounded by a frame;
touching the virtual operating element with an object;
wherein a function associated with the virtual operating element is initiated in response to the virtual operating element being touched;
detecting a speed, or a stretch, of a deflection of the object touching the virtual operating element;
generating a control signal from the speed, or the stretch, of the deflection of the object touching the virtual operating element;
using the control signal to set a speed or a position of movements of the industrial robot;
setting a first- and second-dimensional position by defining a first moving surface at a distance from a section of the frame; and
setting a third-dimensional position by defining a second moving surface inside the distance.

Abstract
A method for operating an industrial robot by means of an operating device, including a step of touching a virtual operating element on a touch-sensitive display of a graphical user interface, said display being surrounded by a frame, wherein a function associated with the operating element is triggered when the virtual operating element is touched. In order to increase the safety of the operation of the industrial robot and to be able to adjust the position of the industrial robot in the desired range, the speed or distance of a deflection of a finger of an operating person during the touching of the virtual operating element of the touch display is detected.
