Abstract
The present invention is an industrial robot with a cable spanned between and end effector and an upper arm. The cable does not twine around the upper arm or interfere with a peripheral device. A passage opening, through which the cable for supplying power, signals, or materials to an end effector attached to a rotating element is drawn out of a body, is opened at a position where the body intersects the center of a first rotational axis.
