ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an industrial robot of the kind comprising a body and an arm system pivotally journalled thereon. In order to achieve an improved and extended working range in a vertical space underneath or above the robot, the arm system is supported in the body via a substantially fork-shaped bearing bracket. Linear actuators intended for the operation of the arms are pivotally journalled in the bearing bracket so that, when the arm system assumes its neutral position, the actuators will be oriented primarily transversely to the longitudinal axis of a body and substantially parallel with the first arm pivotally journalled in the bearing bracket. Both actuators are disposed between the body and the first arm in all positions of the arm system.
