Industrial robot

摘要

A robot for purposes of production and/or assembly comprises an arm carrying a holder for a tool, operating device or the like and being movable in three dimensions in consequence of appropriate guides. The holder itself can have various degrees of freedom through arrangement of hinges, rotational axes or the like and all holder movements for individual operating processes may be programmable. The holder is connected indirectly or directly to the arm through a double parallelogram linkage integrated into one unit, wherein the parallelogram linkage rod pairs extend obliquely one to the other, and a pivot angle displacing mechanism is associated with this linkage.
