A painting system comprising:
- a painting booth surrounded by a sidewall and a ceiling;
- a conveyor line that is arranged in the painting booth and conveys an object to be painted;
- and
- a painting robot that performs painting on the object,
- wherein the painting robot includes:
- a base portion fixed on the sidewall side in the painting booth;
- and
- an arm portion that is connected to the base portion and has a seven-axis configuration,
- the arm portion includes:
- a rotation base portion that is supported by the base portion to be rotatable about a first axis which is parallel to a conveying direction of the conveyor line;
- a first arm that is supported by the rotation base portion to be rotatable about a second axis which is perpendicular to and intersects with the first axis or is skew and perpendicular to the first axis;
- a second arm that is supported by the first arm to be rotatable about a third axis which is perpendicular to the second axis;
- a third arm that is supported by the second arm to be rotatable about a fourth axis which is perpendicular to the third axis;
- and
- a wrist portion that is rotatably supported by a tip of the third arm and has a three-axis configuration including a fifth axis to a seventh axis, and
