AN INDUSTRIAL ROBOT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AN INDUSTRIAL ROBOT AND A METHOD FOR ABSORBING MOISTURE

摘要

The invention defines an industrial robot and an industrial robot transmission system for the transmission of movement to a robot part, comprising at least one motor (10) and at least one gearbox (12) containing a lubricant. The gearbox is provided with an integrated moisture absorbing device (20; 30; 40; 50) comprising a moisture absorbing material (27; 37; 47; 57) adapted to absorb moisture contained in the gearbox. The invention is also related to a method for preventing the deterioration of a lubricant due to absorption of moisture, inside an industrial robot used in surroundings with high humidity, which is characterized by integrating a moisture absorbing device (20; 30; 40; 50) comprising a moisture absorbing material (27; 37; 47; 57) in a robot part containing the lubricant.
