DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an outline of a teaching system for carrying out the method of the present invention. An object to be coated a is hung by a conveyor 1 and sequentially conveyed to a coating position where a coating robot 2 is installed. A teaching position is provided on the front side of the position in the transport direction.

Next, the method of this embodiment will be described based on the flow chart of FIG. When the article a passes through the multi-photo sensor 3, the three-dimensional data of the detected shape is input to the personal computer 4. When the personal computer 4 receives the data, the image processing screen 6 for teaching of the display 5 is displayed.
As shown in FIG. 3, three detection shapes, that is, the front shape a 1 of the article a, the plane shape a 2 and the side shape a 3 are displayed.

That is, according to the method of the present invention, since the teaching can be performed by simply moving the cursor on the image processing screen of the display by using the personal computer, the work is extremely simple. Also, since the painting gun is not used for teaching, the teaching work can be performed at a position different from the painting position such as the front side of the painting position on the line, that is, the teaching work is performed while the line is operating. As a result, it is possible to prevent the production efficiency from being lowered due to the line stop, and to reduce the burden on the operator who has to perform the teaching work after the line operation is stopped.
