Abstract
The invention concerns an industrial robot () comprising a machining tool () attached to one hand () of the robot, designed to perform a hydraulic-driven movement relative to the hand () and connected therefor to a hydraulic unit (). The hydraulic unit () is placed directly on a mobile part of the robot, in particular directly on the robot hand (). Therefore there is no more need for hydraulic supply lines along the arm of the robot. Further, when the robot hand () changes tool, no separation of hydraulic lines is required. The machining tool () is in particular a device for placing blind rivets, thereby enabling an entirely automated process for placing blind rivets.
