Abstract
A multi-axes robot includes a stationary base and one or more detachable arm units. Each of the detachable arm units comprises a pivotal base detachably mounted on the stationary base, and a first arm pivotably supported on the pivotal base, a second arm pivotably mounted on a free end of the first arm, and a tool mounting shaft supported on a free end of the second arm. The angular orientation of the arm units with respect to the stationary base and to each other may be optimally adjusted, so as to select suitable working ranges for each of the arm units and define cooperative working ranges for a plurality of arm units.
