A substrate transfer robot has arms 10, 20, 28 to be arranged in high-temperature vacuum atmosphere. To effectively cool the arms, a cooling block 30 having a cooling line P formed therein for circulating coolant is fixed to a first arm 10, as one of the arms 10, 20, 28 which are accommodated in a transfer chamber 2 of which inside is in a vacuum atmosphere. A driving shaft 11 for driving the first arm 10 is provided with a feed passage 13A and a return passage 13B formed along the axial direction thereof for supplying and collecting the coolant to and from the cooling line P of the cooling block 30. A swivel joint 40 is provided on the lower end of the driving shaft to allow the connection between the passage to an external cooling circulating means 8 even when the driving shaft 11 is rotated.

A gripper assembly with an integrated heat shield. The integrated heat shield is in the form of a shell having one or more openings through which a gas may flow into and out of in order to create a cooling current flow. Two axially aligned and opposed cylinders, each having a main portion, are individually mounted to the shell and the shell substantially surrounds the main portion of each cylinder. Each cylinder has a piston and each piston has a piston rod. Each piston rod is coupled to a jaw and each jaw is supported by one or more guide rods slidably received in one or more sleeves mounted to the shell. The jaws are positioned substantially parallel to one another and operable to grasp and release objects of interest. Motion of the jaws is synchronized by a synchronization mechanism.

A weld seam tracker for a welding robot has an optical sensor (4) for sensing the position of the seam and controlling the movement of a welding torch (10). The sensor (4) includes a light source, for example a laser, and a position-sensing detector. The sensor (4) is rotatably mounted at a housing (1) mounted on the robot hand (3) and is operated by a motor (6) arranged in the housing (1). A heat shield (40) with a window (42, 43) for the scanning light protects the sensor (4) against spatter and heat radiation. The welding torch (10) is mounted in a through-hole in the housing (1) and is surrounded by the sensor (4). Compressed air for cooling the sensor (4) is conducted to said sensor (4) via a gas-tight space (23) in the housing (1). Part of the cooling air is led out through a sleeve-formed screen (46) at the window (42, 43) of the heat shield ( 40), whereby fumes etc. are blown away from the visibility range located nearest the window.

An arrangement for transporting cryogenic refrigerant to a work area includes a robot with a phase-separator and an insulated flexible hose between the phase-separator and the work area. The phase generator is mounted above the work area. The hose is a coaxial hose in which the inner hose and an annulus created by the inner hose and an outer hose at the opening of the phase-separator are connected during the liquid phase.
摘要:
A sealed joint having two adjacent, axially aligned sleeves separated by a rotating seal, one joint being movable with respect to the other. The joints contain a tubular passageway surrounded by a motor and a harmonic drive. A tachometer and a brake help to control the motor and a position encoder measures rotational motion between the sleeves. All components are mounted in sealed relation with respect to the outside of the sleeves. A sealable port communicates with the interior of the tubular passageway for each sleeve so that control cables and fluid conduits may pass into the joint through one port, along the tubular passageway and out of the other port.

An improved electric actuator is provided, having in association therewith a resolver. The actuator includes a stationary and a rotatable housing, and an electric motor within it. The electric motor drives the rotary housing through a speed reducing harmonic drive mechanism. The actuator has an opening in the rotary housing, and a cavity inwardly of the opening having a mating anchoring element connected with the stationary housing. A modular resolver is provided, of a shape and size to have a major portion of it occupy the cavity provided in the actuator, and having a mating part for engaging the mating part of the stationary housing, upon assemblage of the resolver to the actuator. A rotatable part of the resolver is secured to the rotary housing. A heat dissipation system is provided, including a fan mounted on a rotary member of the actuator and a closed circuit for the passage of air between the fan and a heat conductive plate forming a part of the stationary housing. Stability for the rotary housing is provided by widely spaced ball bearings supporting a rotary shaft extending from the rotary housing, the ball bearings being located at the maximum axial spacing within the stationary housing. In addition, an electromagnetic brake of lightweight construction is provided to prevent rotation of the rotary housing, and the resolver includes a coupling of the bellows type for elastic isolation from distortion of the parts, due to stresses between the fixed and rotary parts of the resolver.

An industrial robot has at least one translational or rotational axis, having an output element that has a toothing and at least one axis drive assembly that is associated with the translational or rotational axis and that meshes with the output element. The axis drive assembly has a drive motor and at least one transmission arranged downstream of the drive motor. In the case of a translational axis, the output element is a toothed rod. In the case of a rotational axis, the output element is a spur gear with an outer toothing. In addition, the transmission has at least one branching stage that distributes the rotational movement of the motor shaft of the drive motor to at least two gear trains, such that at least two pinions driven by means of the drive motor mesh with the output element.

A substrate transfer system includes a substrate processing assembly, a substrate transfer assembly, and a controller. The substrate processing assembly includes a substrate processing chamber, a substrate support, and a first temperature sensor that measures a temperature of the substrate support. The substrate transfer assembly includes a substrate transfer chamber, a robotic substrate transferrer, and a temperature control system. The robotic substrate transferrer includes a first end-effector that holds a high-temperature substrate, a second end-effector that holds a low-temperature substrate, and a deposit detector located adjacent to at least one of the end-effectors. The temperature control system includes a cooling gas supply that supplies a cooling gas into the robotic substrate transferrer, a second temperature sensor that measures a temperature of an internal space of the robotic substrate transferrer, and a temperature adjuster that adjusts a temperature of the cooling gas based on an output from the second temperature sensor.
