  • Patent number: 8286527
    Abstract: An exemplary manipulator includes arms, an inlet conduit, and sealing members. The arms are rotatably joined. The inlet conduit extends into one of the arms and non-combustible gas is introduced into the arms via the inlet conduit. The sealing members are disposed where two corresponding of the arms are rotatably joined together. The manipulator is doubly protected from infiltration by unwanted gases by the high pressure gas in the manipulator and by the sealing members.

  • Publication number: 20120103127
    Abstract: A robot arm assembly includes a hollow wrist housing, a wrist rotatably connected to the wrist housing, a first driver, a first transmission mechanism, a rotary member, a second driver, and a second transmission mechanism. The first driver is assembled within the wrist housing for driving the wrist to rotate relative to the wrist housing along a first rotary axis. The first transmission mechanism is also assembled within the wrist housing and is positioned between the wrist and the first driver. The rotary member is rotatably assembled to a distal end of the wrist along a second rotary axis. The second driver is assembled within the wrist housing for driving the rotary member to rotate. The second transmission mechanism is assembled within the wrist housing, and is positioned between the second driver and the rotary member.
