Multi-axis robot

A multi-axis robot comprising:

• a base with a hollow;
• a support member with a hollow, the support member constituting a proximal end portion of an arm of the multi-axis robot, the support member being rotatable relative to the base around a central axis of the base;
• a guide pipe positioned in the support member and being rotatable together with the support member, the guide pipe having a length and including
• a first end positioned in the base and being rotatable relative to the base;
• and
• an inner space in communication with an inner space of the support member and an inner space of the base;
• and
• a first linear body inserted in the guide pipe in a longitudinal direction of the guide pipe, wherein
• a rotational center of the guide pipe deviates from a center of the first linear body,
• a notch, through which the first linear body is passed, is formed in a peripheral surface of an end portion of the guide pipe, the end portion being positioned in the base,
• the first linear body extends (i) from radially outside of the guide pipe to the notch, such that a bending portion is formed around an outer peripheral surface of the guide pipe in a plane parallel to a rotation direction of the guide pipe, and (ii) from the notch to the inner space of the support member by passing inside the guide pipe from the notch,
• the guide pipe is divided by a partition wall into a first passage and a second passage, the first passage and the second passage extending in an axial direction of the guide pipe,
• the first linear body is inserted in the first passage,
• a second linear body extends to an outside of the support member by passing through the second passage, and
• the first linear body and the second linear body are prevented from coming into contact with each other by the partition wall along the length of the guide pipe.
