  • Patent number: 8006586
    Abstract: An articulated robot includes a wrist carrying a flange for attachment of an apparatus to be carried by the robot. The wrist comprises a first support mounted on a robot component that is rotatable about a first axis, a second support rotatably mounted on the first support about a second axis inclined with respect to the first axis, and a third support rotatably mounted on the second support about a third axis, inclined with respect to the second axis. A first motor carried by the first support drives the rotation of the second support, and a second motor carried by the second support drives the rotation of the third support, which ends with the flange for attachment of the apparatus to be carried by the robot.

  • Patent number: 5178031
    Abstract: A robot wrist with two articulation axes has a first body which is carried at the distal end of the robot arm, a second body which is supported by the first body for rotation about a first axis which intersects the longitudinal axis of the robot arm at right angles, and a third body which is supported by the second body for rotation about a second axis which intersects the first axis at right angles. The second and third bodies are rotated by two electric motors which are mounted on the first body and the second body respectively, with the interposition of "Harmonic Drive" reduction units of the type in which the output rotor is supported for rotation by a load-bearing element which forms part of the reduction unit.
