Industrial robot comprising an axle drive with a compact construction

An industrial robot, comprising:

• a translational or rotational axis including an output element that has a toothing;
• and
• an axis drive assembly that is associated with the translational or rotational axis and meshes with the output element,
• wherein the axis drive assembly includes a drive motor and
• a transmission connected downstream of the drive motor,
• wherein
• the output element is a toothed rod if the translational or rotational axis is a translational axis and
• the output element is a spur gear with an outer toothing if the translational or rotational axis is a rotational axis, and
• wherein the transmission has a branching stage that distributes a rotational movement of a motor shaft of the drive motor to at least two gear trains, such that at least two pinions driven by the drive motor mesh with the output element, and
• wherein an electronics component assembly including a control system of the drive motor is arranged on the axis drive assembly.
