Abstract
In an industrial robot incorporating a control system by means of which the robot may repeat automatically a desired movement pattern, two hydraulic cylinders to pivot the robot pivotable arms in a vertical plane. The hydraulic cylinders are interconnected by an articulation means which may be disconnected from the robot arms so as not to take part in the arm movements during programming, but again be connected to the robot arms to allow the associated hydraulic cylinders to perform their function when the robot is to operate according to the chosen programme.
