  • Programmable manipulator
    Patent number: 4725178
    Abstract: A multi-axle programmable manipulator is described which includes a corresponding multi-axle training arm for programming the manipulator. A support for the training arm is disclosed which allows the training arm to so be anchored to the manipulator that the first axle of the training arm extends constantly in the extension of the first axle of the manipulator. The displacement of the second axle of the training arm is mechanically compensated to be rotatable about the second axis of the manipulator.
