Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the weight of the turning end part of an arm and therefore enable the higher speed operation by mounting a drive at the support end of the arm and also mounting a transmission mechanism which transmits the action of this drive to the output shaft which is connected at the turning end of the arm. CONSTITUTION:The second drive 6 mounted on the first arm 3 near the support end thereof drives the second arm 5 via the first transmission mechanism 12. The third drive 7 mounted on the second arm 3 near the support end thereof drives the support body 9 of a grasping hand via the second transmission mechanism 14. Such allocation of the second drive 6 and the third drive 7 may reduce the mass of the turning end of the second arm 5 and therefore quicken the acceleration or the deceleration operation.
