Abstract: The invention relates to a robot arm (1) having a modular structure and directly driven arm joints (2). To simplify and facilitate assembly of the robot arm (1), it is proposed that the arm joints (2) each display a drive module (3) having a directly driven worm drive (31) for generating a torque effective in relation to an axis of rotation (a, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5) of the drive module (3), and a connecting module (4), following on axially from the drive module (3) in relation to the axis of rotation (a), for transmitting the torque to an arm joint (2) located downstream in relation to a drive sequence, in the direction of a head-side end joint (21) of the robot arm (1). The invention further relates to a kit (8) for the robot arm (1).

Abstract: An energy guiding chain (12) with additional protection against a line break is proposed. It includes link members (20) or segments for guiding one or more lines like cables, hoses or the like, wherein the link members or segments can be angled relative to each other to form a direction-changing curve (28). The protection means includes a detector for monitoring the energy guiding chain. The detector (16) is mechanically operatively connected to a low-stretch triggering cord (30) and has a sensor (36) for detecting a kinematic parameter of the triggering cord (30). A break (13) in the energy guiding chain (12 can be detected in good time by a change in the kinematic parameter. In that way guided cables, hoses or the like can be protected against a line break.

Abstract: The invention relates to a robot arm comprising at least two arm joints which are pivotally connected together and which are driven directly. The aim of the invention is to reduce the energy required to move the parts when pivoting the arm joint and allow an uncomplicated adaptation of the robot arm to changed use conditions. This is achieved in that at least one of the two arm joints has a motor part and a joint part, wherein the two parts are arranged in a mutually spaced manner via a spacer part, and the other arm joint is arranged so as to engage with the spacer part of the arm joint such that the position can be changed relative to the arm joint.
