<p>An industrial robot (1) having an attaching device for attaching a tool (4) to a tool manipulating arm (2) is disclosed having a first attachment member (6) affixed to the tool manipulating arm which is adapted to engage a second attachment member affixed to the tool. The first attachment member (6) includes a locking device (14) which is engageable with a cam surface (38) formed on the second attachment member (7) such that the engagement urges a seating surface defined on the first attachment member and a mounting surface defined on the second attachment member into sealing contact with each other. The seal affected by the contact of these surfaces hermatically seals the locking device such that it is not susceptible to contamination by the dust, water, sand, chips, oil, etc. which may be present in the working environment in which the robot is located. <IMAGE></p> |
