INDUSTRIAL ROBOT HAVING CABLE PROCESSING MEANS

摘要

An industrial robot (10) having a rotary base (26) on a cylindrical stationary robot body (14), and robot arms (60, 64) and a robot wrist (66) in a robot arm unit at the free end portion of the rotary base (26) is provided with a cable guide (30) along the outer side of the stationary robot body (14). The lower end portion of the cable guide (30) is pivotably connected to the stationary robot body (14) via a lower bearing member (42), and the upper end portion of the cable guide (30) to the rotary base (26) via an upper bearing member (40), in such a manner that the cable guide (30) can be turned. A robot cable (50), which has the starting point at the lower end of the stationary robot body (14), is retained by a cable holder portion (32) formed at the intermediate section of the cable guide (30), and the upper end of the robot cable (50) is guided to the robot arm unit through the rotary base (26).
