Abstract
An active arm module and modular robot arm for an industrial robot comprises a housing, a heat exchanger, a drive device, and a connecting side with a connecting plate. The connecting plate can be mechanically connected to a further arm module or to a robot base for transmitting drive and support forces. The housing defines an interior space for receiving the drive device. The heat exchanger accommodates the drive device at least in sections, and is thermally coupled to the drive device. The heat exchanger has a fluid channel and can exchange heat between the drive device and the fluid. The arm module comprises a fluid contact device arranged at the connecting plate. Fluid can be exchanged with the further arm module or robot base via the fluid contact device; e.g., the fluid channel can be filled with the fluid for exchanging the fluid with the first fluid contact device.
