Claims14
A robot for handling loads, comprising;
- an end effector;
- three actuators, each actuator designed for initiating a movement with a single degree of freedom;
- three arms, each of the arms on one side pivotably connected to a different actuator and on the other side pivotably connected to the common end effector;
- a frame carrying the actuators;
- and
- a control unit connected to the actuators;
- whereby at least two of the actuators are rotary actuators, connected to the frame with their axes of movement substantially parallel to each other;
- and
- whereby the axis of movement of one of the actuators is lying outside and nonparallel to a plane through the substantially parallel axes of movement of the other actuators.
