ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting a machining tool on a robot arm is disclosed having first and second support members with the second support member attached to the first support member by torsion bar elements so as to be movable with respect to the first member about an axis in a single degree of freedom. The first support member is attached to the end of the robot arm and the machining tool is attached to the second support member.
The torsion bar element interconnecting the first and second support members has end portions larger than a connecting portion extending between them. One end portion is fixedly attached to one of the support members and the other end portion is fixedly attached to the other support member. The torsion bar elements are generally cylindrical in configuration and are dimensioned such that the diameters of the end portions are between seven and ten times the diameter of the connecting portion. The torsion bar elements are located such that their longitudinal axes are coincident with the axis of movement of the second support member.
