Abstract
An industrial robot may include a hand having an object-mounting section; an arm structured to hold the hand at the front side thereof; a main body section structured to hold the base end of the arm; and a covering member structured to cover at least the top surface of the object-mounting section. The radiant heat reflectance at the covering member may be higher than that at the object-mounting section. The heat conductivity of the covering member may be lower than that of the object-mounting section. The specific gravity of the object-mounting section may be smaller than that of the covering member.
Claims7
An industrial robot for transferring an object-to-be-transferred, comprising:
- a hand having an object-mounting section on which said object-to-be-transferred can be mounted;
- an arm structured to hold said hand at a front side thereof;
- a main body section structured to hold a base end of said arm;
- and
- a covering member structured to cover at least a top surface of said object-mounting section;
- wherein a radiant heat reflectance at said covering member is higher than that at said object-mounting section,
- a heat conductivity of said covering member is lower than that of said object-mounting section, and
- a specific gravity of said object-mounting section is smaller than that of said covering member;
- wherein said hand is provided with multiple fork prongs and a hand base section to which base ends of said multiple fork prongs are fixed and which is held to the front side of said arm, and at least a front side of said fork prongs is said object-mounting section;
- and
- wherein said fork prong is provided with a fork prong front section as said object-mounting section and a fork prong base section on which the base end of said fork prong front section is fixed, and at least part of said fork prong base section is formed hollow.
