ABSTRACT:
A double-hand apparatus for an industrial robot, in which a first and second hand are mounted on a common frame. Two supporting arms are pivotally supported at respective ends on a pair of rotary shafts on the common frame and at their other ends at two respective points on a base such that the two arms extend parallel to each other so as to constitute a parallel link. At least one of the supporting arms is pressed at one end by an energizing spring. Thereby the two supporting arms in a normal state are held in a predetermined parallel link attitude by the spring force by the energizing spring. When either the first or the second hand receives a reaction force from a workpiece that is being set on a table, this reaction force deforms the parallel link of the supporting arms against the force of the energizing spring to thereby lessen the effect of the reaction force.
