Abstract
In one of a pair of supporting pillars, a clearance is formed in a side of a moving space of a side of a main robot body. Then, when the main robot body stops in the position immediately near the supporting pillar and an arm is turned, the range in which the arm can turn is expanded without contacting the supporting pillar.
Claims6
A suspending robot system comprising:
- a pair of supporting pillars having a straight-line-shaped rail spanned therebetween;
- a base suspended by the rail, the base moving both ways along the rail in a moving space between the pair of supporting pillars;
- and
- a main robot body having a turnable arm disposed on the base, wherein
- at least one of the pair of supporting pillars has a clearance on a side of the moving space,
- the at least one supporting pillar having the clearance has four side surfaces, and
- the clearance has a triangle shape, a longest side of the triangle shape being arranged to face the side of the moving space, and the clearance is defined by a removed portion in (1) a part of a first side surface, of the four side surfaces, facing the moving space and (2) a part of a second side surface, of the four side surfaces, adjacent to the first side surface and facing a rotating axis of the turnable arm.
