| Function |
Version Anglaise: The inventive robot comprises two levels (I), (II). Each level consists of two actuators (1), (2) which are connected to
a support (3). One end of each horizontally-positioned arm (4), (8) is connected to the actuator (1), (2) respectively and one end of each arms (5), (9) is connected to the free end of the arm (4), (8) respectively. The other ends of arms (5), (9) are connected to each other at point (6) which moves in a horizontal plane with two degrees of freedom. The level (I) point (6) and the level (II) point (6) are connected by means of a coupling mechanism (7) one of mentioned connections comprising a rotary joint and the other comprising a cylindrical joint. According to the invention, a tool (10) is mounted at the point (6) comprising the cylindrical joint and mentioned tool can move with four degrees of freedom, namely three translational movements and one rotational movement along a vertical axis. |
