    摘要: A hermetically sealed multi-axis articulated arm apparatus for use within a sealable isolator chamber is disclosed. In one general aspect, it comprises a rotational shaft that passes through an opening in the chamber, a sealing member disposed within the chamber for sealing the shaft to an inner surface of the chamber, interconnected hermetically sealed arm segments operably attached to the linear motion shaft; an end effector operably attached to a terminal arm segment among the arm segments, and at least one fully enclosed drive system for driving and controlling the shaft and the arm segments. The rotational shaft can further be a linear motion shaft for which the sealing member is a bellows. The materials for the parts of the apparatus exposed to the atmosphere of the chamber can be compatible with an aseptic and cleanable environment and the surfaces of the arm segments can be shaped to avoid pooling of contaminants.

    摘要: The invention relates to a robot cell comprising a protective casing, which surrounds a robot, and at least one station, which is served by the robot. A door assembly is provided on the protective casing in order to, in an open position, provide access to an access opening through which the station from the outside of the protective casing can be served by an operator, and in order to, in a closed position, close the access opening. The door assembly comprises a door leaf, which from the closed position of the door assembly is movable aside along an arcuate path and into the protective casing, in which the door leaf in the open position of the door assembly closes a passageway within the protective casing between the robot and the station, wherein the arcuate path follows a circular arc around a vertical geometric axis (A) through a central portion of the station.

    摘要: A remote arm for a manipulator is disclosed, which has a boom tube having a distal end and housing a mechanical communication chain. A floating gearbox assembly is coupled to the boom tube and has an outer framework rigidly coupled to the distal end of the boom tube. An inner framework is retained by the outer framework and is rotatable relative to the outer framework. A drive gear is disposed in the inner framework. which is in mechanical communication with the mechanical communication chain. A wrist joint has a wrist joint housing and an output gear is disposed in the wrist joint housing, where the wrist joint housing is configured to detachably couple to the outer framework. The output gear is configured to mechanically communicate with the drive gear when the wrist joint housing is coupled to the outer framework.

    摘要: A working device has a configuration with seven degrees of freedom, and is configured to perform work using an end effector. The working device includes: a linear motion unit having three degrees of freedom; a rotary unit having three degrees of freedom; and a rotary drive mechanism having one degree of freedom. The rotary drive mechanism is configured to rotate the rotary unit relative to the linear motion unit. The linear motion unit is mounted on a mount such that a base portion thereof is fixed to the mount. The rotary drive mechanism is mounted on an output portion of the linear motion unit. The rotary unit is mounted on an output portion of the rotary drive mechanism. The end effector is mounted on an output portion of the rotary unit.

    摘要: A working device includes: a linear motion unit having three degrees of freedom and obtained by combining three linear motion actuators; and a rotary unit having three degrees of freedom and obtained by combining a plurality of rotating mechanisms each having one or more rotational degrees of freedom. The linear motion unit is mounted on a mount such that a base portion of the linear motion unit is fixed to the mount. A base portion of the rotary unit is fixedly mounted on an output portion of the linear motion unit. End effectors are mounted on both the output portion of the linear motion unit and an output portion of the rotary unit.
