ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a manipulator that can facilitate a teaching method, improve the operation speed of an arm, and mount a heavy load in a narrow space. The manipulator includes a plurality of arm bodies provided in series, joint parts rotatably connecting two adjacent arm bodies, and the joint parts in which slope of rotation axes of the adjacent joints are 90 degrees, at least one linear body disposed in the joint parts coaxially with the rotation axes. The joint parts are composed of a servo motor, and a speed-reduction mechanism. The rotation axes of the servo motor, the speed-reduction mechanism and the joint parts become the same axis.
