Guide device for multi-axis manipulator

摘要

A guide device for the supply lines that lead to the work tool at the work end of a multi-axis manipulator's boom. The guide device includes a slidable block positioned to the rear of the wrist assembly of the boom and connected by a flexible cable to the work tool for controlling bending of the supply lines so as to minimize twisting thereof as the work tool is moved about a pair of intersecting axes.
