Abstract
A parallel link robot according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a plurality of arm units and a movable part commonly connected to distal ends of the plurality of arm units. Each of the arm units includes a pedestal, a first arm rotatably supported on the pedestal, a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, a motor installed in the pedestal, and a reduction gear installed in the pedestal and configured to transmit rotation of the motor to the first arm. The pedestal is provided with a mounting structure for individually mounting the arm unit to an external trestle. The pedestal is equipped with a cable connector for ensuring a direct connection with an external control device.
