Abstract
An industrial robot having a gimbal-ring type suspension incorporating two axes renders therewith a translatorily movable arm swingable. According to the invention, the translatory movement is achieved in that the gimbal-ring type suspension, which can be swung with the aid of two motors, carries a part in the form of a box-like structure in which a platform provided with a rack can be slidably moved on guides, the platform being driven to translatory motion by a pinion. The platform carries a fourth, a fifth and a sixth motor, of which the fourth motor is able to rotate the arm about its longitudinal axis while the fifth and sixth motor drive their respective drive shafts for swinging the tool holder and rotating the same.
