Abstract
A horizontal multi-joint industrial robot has a construction in which rotational driving force is transmitted from rotational driving sources placed in a base through driving force transmitting mechanism placed in arms and connecting parts to each of arms and a robot hand. This construction in which rotational driving sources for arms and robot hand are placed concentratively in the base, eliminates the need for routing electric lines in moving parts, thereby preventing rotational movements of the arms and robot hand from decreasing the reliability, and besides allowing inertial moments to reduce by decreasing weights of the moving parts.
