  • Publication number: 20050034552
    Abstract: An industrial robot comprising a manipulator with a control system, where the manipulator comprises a hollow, first robot unit (9) and a second robot unit (10) rotatable around an axle (A). The first robot unit (9) and the second robot unit (10) are arranged for rotation and/or bending in relation to each other and the second robot unit (10 includes a robot tool (11). Cables (12) are drawn through the first robot unit (9) and arranged coaxially and detachably connected with a first end (13), to the second robot unit (10), via a connection device. The connection device comprises a body (14), fixed to the first end (13) of the cables in at least one wire and the body (14) is arranged with sockets (19) for connection of power supply to the robot tool (11).

  • Patent number: 6455799
    Abstract: An industrial robot including a hollow arm pan (1) rotatable around its longitudinal axis (A) through which a cable set (4) is drawn through and connected to a robot unit (3) rotatable around an axis (A). The arm part and the robot unit are arranged for both rotation and bending relative to one another. The cable set (4) is guided and supported by a supporting means (5) rotatably arranged within arm part (1) so that the bending movement is accommodated by the part of the cable that is located between the supporting means (5) and the robot unit (3) and the rotational movement is accommodated by the part of the cable set that is located within the arm part (1) before the supporting means (5) when viewed from the power source (D).

  • Patent number: 5622084
    Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial robot with two lower robot arms directed upwards from a fixed robot stand, the robot arms at their lower end being pivotably journalled in the stand around horizontal axes and at their upper end being pivotably interconnected by a yoke in such a way that a four-bar linkage is formed. The linkage is provided with a first driving unit. An upper robot arm is journalled around a fifth axis in a fixing member which is supported by the yoke and which is rotatably journalled around a sixth axis. The upper robot arm and its fixing member are provided with a second and a third driving unit, respectively.

  • Patent number: 5193658
    Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial robot with a stand (1) which is rotatably journalled in a base (2) and provided with a mechanical stop for limiting the rotary motion of the stand. The stop comprises at least one radially projecting stop arm (7), which in a certain rotational position makes contact with a stop pin (6) arranged on the base (2). The rotary moment is taken up by deformation of the stop pin (6). The stand (1) is provided with a plurality of recesses (8, 10) arranged around the periphery of the stand, whereas the stop arm (7) is formed with at least one fixing projection (12, 13) which is adapted to the recesses and which, with the aid of a wedge member (14), may be fastened into one of the recesses at an optional location on the periphery of the stand.

  • Patent number: 4806069
    Abstract: The bending and turning movements of the wrist are brought about by drive motors via at least one gear train, in which a cylindrical gear pinion drives a cylindrical gear wheel via an intermediate wheel. For adjusting the backlash, the intermediate wheel is journalled on a movable support which makes contact with a cylindrical guide surface in the wrist housing and can be displaced, by means of two adjusting screws, along a circular path, the center of which coincides with the axis of rotation of the gear pinion. The intermediate wheel is journalled on an eccentric bearing pin on the movable support.

  • Patent number: 4804304
    Abstract: The wrist is built up of two wrist halves, between which the tilt with the turning disc is journalled. Each wrist half comprises an intermediate gearing with conical gear wheels and is built together with a drive motor. The two wrist halves are identical, and each half constitutes an individual trimmable drive unit for turning the tilt and the turning disc, respectively.

  • Patent number: 4710092
    Abstract: An industrial robot having a gimbal-ring type suspension incorporating two axes renders therewith a translatorily movable arm swingable. According to the invention, the translatory movement is achieved in that the gimbal-ring type suspension, which can be swung with the aid of two motors, carries a part in the form of a box-like structure in which a platform provided with a rack can be slidably moved on guides, the platform being driven to translatory motion by a pinion. The platform carries a fourth, a fifth and a sixth motor, of which the fourth motor is able to rotate the arm about its longitudinal axis while the fifth and sixth motor drive their respective drive shafts for swinging the tool holder and rotating the same.

  • Patent number: 4636134
    Abstract: An arrangement in an industrial robot for driving translatory motion of a unit which is mounted in a gimbal-type suspension having two mutually perpendicular axes. A motor with associated resolver is mounted in the pivotable frame of the gimbal-type suspension, the frame being capable of being swung in one direction. The motor drives a pinion which meshes with a rack by a shaft, the shaft also constituting one journal of the machine part in which the translatorily movable machine part is movably arranged. The shaft is rotatably journalled to both the frame and the machine part through each of its bearings.
