Abstract: A robot installation in a production line includes at least one robot (1) of pendulum type, the arm system (10, 14) of which is pivotable about at least one axis (12). The secondary arm (14) of the robot and a counterweight (16) are so displaceably arranged on the primary arm (10) of the robot that the centre of gravity of the arm system lies on or in immediate proximity to the pivot axis (12) independently of the position of the secondary arm (14) on the primary arm (10). To this end, the counterweight (16) and the secondary arm (14) are movably interconnected by means of a rope (18) running around rope wheels (20) at the ends of the primary arm (10). When mounting several robots of this kind on a stand (34, 35) positioned across the production line (31), the robots are mounted symmetrically in pairs on opposed side walls of the overhead stand part (35).
