The invention relates to a method for the operation of a robot. The linear motion of the X, Y and Z axes of the robot, which function in a linear co-ordination, have been achieved by means of a separate brake motor for each axis and a transmission device that converts rotary motion to linear motion, together with a frequently common inverter. The B and C axes are generally pneumatically driven, there usually being only two positions to choose between. In the robot according to the invention one motor drives more than one axis by way of transmission devices coupled in series, these being the Z, X, Y, B and C axes in the drawing, all axes being freely programmable. The axes have been interlocked with brakes. To set one axis in motion it is necessary to release the brake for that axis, whereupon the motor sets that axis in motion. The robot according to the invention is used for workpiece handling in industry. <IMAGE>
