  • Patent number: 5437207
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a multiaxial manipulator (1), in which the supply lines (9, 10) for the tool (7) and for the manipulator drives (8) are led in separate bundles of lines and are connected separately. The supply lines (9, 10), led in from the outside, are connected to the relatively stationary base (2) of the manipulator (1), wherein at least the supply lines (10) for the tool (7) are then led inside the base (2) to the moving carousel (3). The supply lines (10) again exit to the outside at the carousel (3) and are then led along the moving manipulator parts (4, 5, 6) to the tool (7). The supply lines (9) for the manipulator drives (8) can also be led in a similar manner on the inside through the base (2) and then on the outside, along the manipulator parts (4, 5, 6).
