  • Patent number: 10444287
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a robot device includes a robot and a station part. The robot is inserted into a gap between an outer peripheral surface of a first part of a first member and a second member surrounding the outer peripheral surface. The first member includes the first part and a second part. A step is formed between the first part and the second part. The station part includes an elevating mechanism. The elevating mechanism lowers the robot onto the outer peripheral surface of the first member on a lower stage side of the step, and raises the robot from the outer peripheral surface.

  • Patent number: 5036836
    Abstract: A control processing device moves an X-/Y-/Z-axis movement mechanism, a first rotation mechanism, and a second rotation mechanism. Consequently, a shock-wave oscillating device is moved in X-, Y- and Z-directions, so that the direction of radiation of shock waves can be changed while the focal point of the shock waves is being set at a target of treatment.
