ABSTRACT:
In a multi-axis articulated arm robot for transferring workpieces, there is a robot base, on which a movement unit is able to be pivoted about a first axis, which is vertical in an operational state. The movement unit has a pivoting part adjacent to the base, an articulated arm constituted by a top arm and a bottom arm, such top arm being connected for pivoting at one end about a horizontal second axis with the pivoting part at the other end is connected with the adjacent end of the bottom arm for pivoting about a horizontal third axis, a rotary member arranged at the bottom arm's end opposite to the top arm, such rotary member being able to be rotated about a fourth axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the bottom arm, a pivoting member connected with the rotary member for pivoting about a fifth axis extending athwart the fourth axis, and a supporting part rotatingly connected with the pivoting member, such supporting part extending athwart the fifth axis. On the supporting part a holding means of a lifting means, associated with the workpieces to be transferred, and more particularly a vacuum suction means, is arranged for rotation about a seventh axis. The supporting part is directed in the direction of the sixth axis away from the pivoting member. The seventh axis is directed athwart the sixth axis.
