Abstract
An autoadaptive working center for programmable automation comprises at least a pair of independently programmable autoadaptive devices adapted to recognize a set of different situations of the working process for addressing a corresponding subroutine of the program. Each device comprises at least a force transducer adapted to sense a wall of the workpiece under the control of a wall search instruction. The working center is also adapted to correlate the movement of the two devices under the control of correlation instructions and anti-collision setting instructions defining the dimensions of the two devices.
