Abstract
An industrial robot has at least one translational or rotational axis, having an output element that has a toothing and at least one axis drive assembly that is associated with the translational or rotational axis and that meshes with the output element. The axis drive assembly has a drive motor and at least one transmission arranged downstream of the drive motor. In the case of a translational axis, the output element is a toothed rod. In the case of a rotational axis, the output element is a spur gear with an outer toothing. In addition, the transmission has at least one branching stage that distributes the rotational movement of the motor shaft of the drive motor to at least two gear trains, such that at least two pinions driven by means of the drive motor mesh with the output element.
