  • Patent number: 10857668
    Abstract: A robot includes: a manipulator that is provided with an n-th (n is an integer of 1 or larger) arm which is capable of rotating around an n-th rotation axis, an (n+1)-th arm provided on the n-th arm to be capable of rotating around an (n+1)-th rotation axis having an axial direction which is different from an axial direction of the n-th rotation axis, and an (n+2)-th arm provided on the (n+1)-th arm to be capable of rotating around an (n+2)-th rotation axis. In a first state, an outline of the manipulator is positioned on an inner side of a first circle or on the first circle with the n-th rotation axis as the center thereof, and with first length between a distal end of the manipulator and the n-th rotation axis, as a radius, when viewed in the axial direction of the n-th rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 10569428
    Abstract: A robot includes: an n-th arm (where n is at least one integer equal to or greater than 1) that includes a first portion and a second portion having a portion extending in a different direction from the first portion and is rotatable around an n-th rotation axis; and an (n+1)-th arm that is installed in the n-th arm to be rotatable around an (n+1)-th rotation axis as a different axis direction from a axis direction of the n-th rotation axis. The second portion is located closer to the (n+1)-th arm than the first portion. The n-th arm and the (n+1)-th arm are overlapable when viewed in the axis direction of the (n+1)-th rotation axis. The n-th rotation axis and the (n+1)-th rotation axis are separate from each other. A length of the (n+1)-th arm is equal to or less than 80% of a length of the second portion.

  • Patent number: 10562196
    Abstract: In a robot, each of a first flexible member and a second flexible member has a portion fixed to an n-th arm, a portion that is fixed to an (n+1)-th arm, and a portion that is positioned between the n-th arm and the (n+1)-th arm and is wound around a member in a folded state. The portion of the first flexible member that is fixed to the n-th arm is positioned on the member side from the portion of the second flexible member that is fixed to the n-th arm. The portion of the second flexible member that is fixed to the (n+1)-th arm is positioned on the member side from the portion of the first flexible member that is fixed to the (n+1)-th arm.

  • Patent number: 5610900
    Abstract: An upper clamping device and a lower clamping device are provided for clamping a double-sided optical disc in cooperation with the upper clamping device. An annular holder is axially movably provided in the upper clamping device. A plurality of spheres are radially movably mounted on the holder. A hub having a slant at a periphery thereof is axially movably provided. When the hub is downwardly moved the slant urges the spheres to engage them with an inside wall of a center hole of the optical disc. Thus, the optical disc is centered.
