A transfer robot includes one arm, another arm, a motor, and a brake. The another arm is connected to the one arm via a shaft such that the another arm is rotatable relatively with respect to the one arm around a shaft axis of the shaft. The motor includes a rotor rotatable around the shaft axis to rotate the another arm around the shaft axis, and a stator connected to the one arm. The brake is provided at the another arm to apply a force to the stator so as to suppress relative rotation between the stator and the rotor when electric power is not supplied to the motor.

Transfer robot and robot system

A transfer robot includes one arm, another arm, and a motor. The one arm has a first connection portion. The other arm has a second connection portion that is connected to the first connection portion of the one arm via a shaft such that the other arm is rotatable relatively with respect to the one arm around a shaft axis of the shaft. The motor is provided inside the first connection portion of the one arm. The motor includes a rotor rotatable around the shaft axis to rotate the one arm or the other arm around the shaft axis.

A robot hand is provided. The robot hand includes a plurality of holding parts provided to be holdable of a plurality of workpieces, respectively, and a pneumatic drive for protruding one of the holding parts, when the holding part holds one of the workpieces, toward the workpiece with respect to one or more remaining holding parts by pneumatic pressure.

Robot hand and robot

A robot hand and a robot according to an embodiment include a set of sliding parts, supporting units, a rotary unit, and a plurality of holding claws. The sliding parts slide in a direction to come close to or move away from each other. The supporting units are secured to the respective sliding parts. The rotary unit is attached to an end portion of at least one of the supporting units and rotates around an axis of rotation parallel to sliding shafts of the sliding parts. The holding claws are attached in directions orthogonal to the axis of rotation and different from one another.

A hand according to an embodiment includes a pair of supporting units, a pair of capturing claws, an opening-and-closing mechanism, and a reciprocating mechanism. The pair of capturing claws are supported on the inner surfaces of the pair of respective supporting units and capture a part. The opening-and-closing mechanism opens and closes the pair of supporting units along a reciprocating axis intersecting with longitudinal directions of the supporting units. The reciprocating mechanism causes the pair of capturing claws to rotate about the reciprocating axis to change the direction of each tip of the capturing claws.

Hand and robot

A substrate holding apparatus includes a base plate with a two-pronged portion, a holding plate arranged above the base plate, a driving portion provided therebetween, a holding portion formed by a tip end of the two-pronged portion and a tip end of the holding plate, and a guide portion provided at the tip end of the two-pronged portion for guiding a part of the substrate. The driving portion includes an urging means for always urging a basal end side of the holding plate upward, an electric magnetic portion for drawing the holding plate toward the base plate, and a bearing portion arranged at on the tip end side of the base plate. The guide portion has a guide groove which comes into contact with a part of a periphery of the substrate.
