Abstract: An industrial robot comprises a modular robot arm having a plurality of arm modules, where a rotation transfer device for optical signal transmission is provided in an arm module or between a first and a second arm module. The rotation transfer device comprises an optomechanical rotation interface having a first interface side and a second interface side, which face each other and are substantially rotationally symmetrical and complementary. The first and second interface sides are configured to rotate relative to each other. The first and second interface sides are mechanically mounted with respect to each other, with a radial plain bearing on one interface side and a slide bearing shell complementary thereto on the other interface side. A gap is formed between the first and second interface sides, in the axial direction of the rotation transfer device, across which the optical signal transmission takes place.

Abstract: A driven linear axis includes a housing which has a linear rail guide on which a carriage is arranged such that it can be moved back and forth linearly with the aid of a transport device. The transport device comprises a belt which circulates in the housing and is guided over two gears, at least one gear being configured as a drive gear. Furthermore, a drive device is arranged within the drive gear and is in a torque-locking rotary connection with the drive gear.

Abstract: A robot for a linear transport system includes a carriage guide rail and first and second XY tables, each with first and second carriages arranged to move independently on the carriage guide rail, and first and second linear guides, each having first and second guide elements which can be moved relative to one another and are configured with an angular offset. The first guide elements of the first and second linear guides are connected via a support structure. The second guide elements of the first and second linear guides are connected to the first and second carriages. The robot can include first and second arm systems connected to one another via an articulated system, with an attached work tool. The first and second arm systems can connect to the support structures of the first and second XY tables via corresponding first and second joints.

Abstract: A modular machine-automation system includes a server module and a plurality of client modules. Each client module includes a housing having a first client module connection face with a first client signal transfer unit and a second client module connection face with a second client signal transfer, and a client bus switch-on unit. In an initialization mode, a client signal coupling unit in the client bus switch-on unit is configured to determine which client module connection face is connected to a server module connection face, either directly or via one or a plurality of further client modules, in order to switch to a first operating mode when the first client module connection face is coupled to the server module connection face, and to a second operating mode when the second client module connection face is coupled to the server module connection face.

Abstract: An arm module, modular robot arm or industrial robot has a housing with first and second connection sides. The first connection side has a first connection plate, a first fluid contact device and a first contact device. The second connection side is mechanically connected to the housing in a torque-proof manner, and has a second connection plate. The first fluid contact device and first contact device are arranged on the first connection plate, parallel to a mounting axis. The first connection side is connectable to another arm module. An external thread is arranged about the first mounting axis, on an outer circumferential side of the first connection plate. The second connection plate is circumferentially embraced by a fastening ring with an internal thread corresponding to the external thread. The fastening ring is connected to the housing in an axially fixed manner, rotatable about a second mounting axis.

Abstract: An active arm module and modular robot arm for an industrial robot comprises a housing, a heat exchanger, a drive device, and a connecting side with a connecting plate. The connecting plate can be mechanically connected to a further arm module or to a robot base for transmitting drive and support forces. The housing defines an interior space for receiving the drive device. The heat exchanger accommodates the drive device at least in sections, and is thermally coupled to the drive device. The heat exchanger has a fluid channel and can exchange heat between the drive device and the fluid. The arm module comprises a fluid contact device arranged at the connecting plate. Fluid can be exchanged with the further arm module or robot base via the fluid contact device; e.g., the fluid channel can be filled with the fluid for exchanging the fluid with the first fluid contact device.

Abstract: An arm module includes a housing with a first connection side controllably rotatable relative to a second connection side, about an axis of rotation. The first connection side has a rotatable first connection device. The second connection side has a second connection device fixed to the housing, with a rotation-compatible data transmission device for transmitting data signals along at least one transmission path between the first and second connection sides. The transmission path includes at least one wireless transmission sub-path for wireless transmission of data signals, and at least one wire-guided transmission sub-path for wire-guided transmission of data signals. The rotation-compatible data transmission device includes at least one first wireless transmission unit and at least one second wireless transmission unit, interconnected via the transmission path and arranged to wirelessly transmit and receive data signals along the wireless transmission sub-path. An industrial robot can have a plurality of such arm modules.
