Abstract
A manipulator has a manipulator arm with a manipulator flange at one free end. The flange holds an end effector having an application device for machining a workpiece. The manipulator flange is rotatable about hand axes. A first hand axis extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the manipulator arm, a second hand axis extends transversely to the first hand axis and a third hand axis extends transversely to the second hand axis. The hand axes intersect at a common intersection point. A machining force acting on the application device is diverted into the manipulator arm by way of the end effector. So that process forces during a mechanical operation do not lead to impairment of the machining pose of the manipulator arm, provision is made to fix the application device to the manipulator flange at an attachment angle to the first hand.
