Patent ID: 7551981

Claim:
A robot system for the repair and/or inspection of cast surfaces in metal smelting processes comprising an anthropomorphous robotic arm of at least 4 degrees of freedom, a control, communication and programming unit, a gripper adapter, a pneumatic gripper, a pneumatic gripper driving system, a electric supply system, a repair system, an advanced vision system for the inspection of surfaces and a tool holder wherein said pneumatic gripper allows in a sequential and programmed way said anthropomorphous robotic arm to take, manipulate and release a repair device and/or an advanced vision system for the inspection of surfaces from a tool holder rack in such a way that said device and/or vision system moves through a defined path to said cast surface, wherein said anthropomorphous robotic arm moves said device and/or vision system through a defined path to the cast surface, so as to facilitate repair and inspection process of surfaces in different paths within the work volume of the robot system, and wherein said anthropomorphous robotic arm includes an electrical system driven by three-stage induction motors, with vectorial and/or scalar control.
