ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an industrial robot, wherein a cable or the like spanned between an end effector and an upper arm has less bending due to a motion of a wrist portion, wherein the cable or the like does not twine around the upper arm, and wherein the cable or the like does not interfere with a peripheral device.A passage opening25, through which a cable or the like12for supplying power, signals or materials to an end effector9attached to a rotating element7is drawn out of a body6, is opened at a position, at which the body6intersects with a center of a first axis (an R-axis). The cable or the like12drawn out of the passage opening25is extended to the end effector9.
