Robot for production machine

A robot for a production machine comprising:

• a support base, wherein the support base is disposed on a movable-platen drive section of a mold clamp apparatus of an injection molding machine or between the movable-platen drive section and a movable platen;
• a first vertical arm portion having a first base portion supported on the support base;
• a first rotational drive section for rotating the first arm portion;
• a second vertical arm portion having a second base portion supported on a distal portion of the first arm portion, wherein said first and second vertical arms extend vertically in a direction parallel with a height of said support base and are rotatable in a direction normal to a horizontal direction of said support base;
• a second rotational drive section for rotating the second arm portion;
• a chuck supported on a distal portion of the second arm portion, wherein a first base-side pulley is disposed at the first base portion;
• a first distal-side pulley is disposed at the distal portion of the first arm portion;
• a second base-side pulley is disposed at the base portion of the second arm portion;
• and
• a second distal-side pulley is disposed at the distal portion of the second arm portion, wherein the first base-side pulley is fixed to the support base, the chuck is fixed to the second distal-side pulley, the first distal-side pulley and the second base-side pulley are connected to each other via a connection shaft, the first base-side pulley and the first distal-side pulley are connected to each other via a first rotation transmission section, and the second base-side pulley and the second distal-side pulley are connected to each other via a second rotation transmission section.
