摘要:
An apparatus includes a first arm comprising an unequal-link linkage having a first end effector; a second arm comprising an equal-link linkage having a second end effector; and a drive unit coupled to the first arm and the second arm, the drive unit being configured to move the first arm and the second arm. The first end effector is asymmetric to the second end effector. The first end effector is angled relative to the second end effector such that a first substrate support section on the first end effector is not positioned over or under a second substrate support section on the second end effector.

An industrial robot includes a robot arm with multiple elements connected via joints, one element of which is designed as a linkage and another designed as an arm extension. The arm extension is mounted on one side of the linkage in a pivotal manner about a rotational axis by one of the joints and supports at least two other elements which form hand elements of the robot arm. An arm extension drive on the arm extension pivots the arm extension relative to the linkage, and a first hand element drive on the arm extension moves one of the hand elements relative to the arm extension. A motor shaft of the arm extension drive on the arm extension is offset from and runs parallel to the rotational axis, and a motor shaft of the first hand element drive on the arm extension is perpendicular to and spaced from the rotational axis.

A transport apparatus including a drive; a first arm connected to the drive, where the first arm includes a first link, a second link and an end effector connected in series with the drive, where the first link and the second link have different effective lengths; and a system for limiting rotation of the end effector relative to the second link to provide substantially only straight movement of the end effector relative to the drive when the first arm is extended or retracted.

An articulate probe device includes a first mechanism, a second mechanism, and an overtube mechanism. The first mechanism includes a proximal link which is movable coupled to a first intermediate link, a plurality of intermediate links, and a distal link which is moveably coupled to a second one of the intermediate links. The second mechanism includes a proximal link which is movable coupled to a first intermediate link, a plurality of intermediate links, and a distal link which is moveably coupled to a second one of the intermediate links. The overtube mechanism includes a proximal link which is movable coupled to a first intermediate link, a plurality of intermediate links, and a proximal link which is moveably coupled to a second one of the intermediate links. Further, at least one of the first mechanism, second mechanism, and overtube mechanism is steerable and extendable beyond the other mechanisms.

The invention relates to a gripper mechanism for machines, robots and manipulation devices, comprising at least one moving gripping finger, operated by coupling to an operating mechanism by two drive shafts. As a result of operating the gripping finger by two connecting bars, in turn each driven by the drive shafts, it is possible to move the gripping finger through a rotation over 180° through the path or range thereof and hence securely transmit forces and torques without tipping or getting in an unstable position. According to the invention, the drive shafts are divided axially into at least two parts in order to be housed completely in an enclosed and unitary gripper housing, protected from dust and dirt and hermetically sealed. The different parts of the drive shafts are centered on one another and positively connected by means of axial toothing, in the form of pinion gears and pins, and have a carrier support bearing.

A fully-electric grabber assembly includes a first grabber arm, a second grabber arm, an electric motor, and a plurality of gears. The plurality of gears includes a first gear coupled with the electric motor, an intermediate gear coupled with the first gear, and an arm gear coupled with the first grabber arm and the intermediate gear to facilitate pivoting the first grabber arm. The first gear is configured to rotate about an axis radially offset from a center thereof.
摘要:
A transport apparatus including a drive with a drive axis and a first arm connected to the drive. The first arm includes a first link, a second link and an end effector connected in series with the drive. The end effector includes a substrate support section and a leg connecting the substrate support section to a wrist joint of the end effector with the second link. The leg has a first section connected to the wrist joint, a second section connected to the substrate support section, and a bend portion between the first and second sections such that the first and second sections are angled or offset relative to each other. Connection of the leg to the second link at the wrist joint is offset relative to a centerline of the substrate support section and offset relative to the drive axis.
