Abstract
A programmed controlled industry robot for the treatment of work pieces having movable parts (24) to be moved prior to treatment comprises a support arm (15) swivelable three dimensionally and a swivel head (17) affixed at the free end of the support arm (15). The swivel head (17) carries a tool and has a plurality of axes and being rotatable around the axes. The axes of the swivel head (17) are loaded with considerably smaller forces than the swivel axes of the support arm (15). A support member (25) moveable with the support arm (15) grips one of the moveable parts (24) of the work piece and moves the work piece into an open position. The support member (25) serves for the lifting of the moveable part (24) of the work piece and is attached to the support arm (15) in such a manner that the forces acting on the support member (25) do not load any of the axes of rotation of the swivel head (17).
