Abstract: A manipulator comprising at least one profile as a supporting connection element between two joints and/or between a motor and joint. In order to provide a manipulator that is simply constructed and offers a multitude of design possibilities, according to the invention, the profile is designed as a multi-functional profile with an internal channel and at least one lateral receiving groove, and at least one further multi-functional profile is provided which is designed as a shaft and with at least sections thereof being structurally identical to the multi-functional profile at least in terms of the profile formation, or designed as a rack and with at least sections thereof being structurally identical to the multi-functional profile at least in terms of the cross-sectional contour.

Abstract: An arm joint for a manipulator having a motor with a transmission, comprising a gear wheel that can rotate about a transmission axis of rotation, wherein the gear wheel is rotatably mounted in a housing of the arm joint and has an adapter on at least one of its end sides, and wherein the adapter has an opening that is central relative to the transmission axis of rotation on the side facing away from the end side of the gear wheel The central opening has an internal thread for the purpose of a simple construction, easy assembly and a great number of variation possibilities in terms of construction and application.

Abstract: A robot arm comprising at least two arm joints which are pivotally connected together and which are driven directly. The aim of the invention is to reduce the energy required to move the parts when pivoting the arm joint and allow an uncomplicated adaptation of the robot arm to changed use conditions. This is achieved in that at least one of the two arm joints has a motor part and a joint part, wherein the two parts are arranged in a mutually spaced manner via a spacer part, and the other arm joint is arranged so as to engage with the spacer part of the arm joint such that the position can be changed relative to the arm joint.

Abstract: The invention relates to a robot arm (1) having a modular structure and directly driven arm joints (2). To simplify and facilitate assembly of the robot arm (1), it is proposed that the arm joints (2) each display a drive module (3) having a directly driven worm drive (31) for generating a torque effective in relation to an axis of rotation (a, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5) of the drive module (3), and a connecting module (4), following on axially from the drive module (3) in relation to the axis of rotation (a), for transmitting the torque to an arm joint (2) located downstream in relation to a drive sequence, in the direction of a head-side end joint (21) of the robot arm (1). The invention further relates to a kit (8) for the robot arm (1).

Abstract: An angle joint for connecting two components in articulated fashion includes a joint ball, a cup at least partially surrounding the joint ball, and a liner positioned in the cup. The joint ball has a first mounting element for mounting the joint ball on a first component, while the cup has a second mounting element for mounting the cup to a second component. The second mounting element is rotatable about a preferred axis at least through an angular range, and is pivotal relative to the second mounting element. The liner has a nest with a nest opening for receiving the joint ball, at least one sliding surface for slidable mounting of the joint ball, first integrally molded form-fit elements for securing the liner in the cup, and second integrally molded form-fit elements for securing the joint ball inside the liner.
