パラレルロボットの構造と適用事例

抄録

FANUC’s parallel-link robot "Genkotsu Robot" with a unique structure has been expanding the applications of industrial robots. The name of the Genkotsu robot is derived from the human hand "Genkotsu" in Japanese, which has a tense power while performing fine and delicate work like human hands and fingers. The Genkotsu robots are lined up from small types suitable for assembling precision equipment such as mobile phones and arranging parts, to large ones with large work spaces and payload capacity that can transport and align food etc. at high speed with a fully enclosed structure. They have been opening up new application fields in general industries, especially food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
