Abstract
A high-density installation type robot able to be installed side by side with another such robot, to work on an object at the same time is provided. A robot wrist assembly (30) is equipped with three rotary axes (.alpha. axis, .beta. axis, .gamma. axis), and a robot arm (26) having the robot wrist assembly (30) mounted on an end thereof is given a rotary axis (.theta. axis). Further, a bracket-shaped holder (24) holding the robot arm (26) is provided in such a manner that it can move vertically (V) and linearly (FR), whereby a large rectangular parallelepiped, three-dimensional operating area can be secured and a wasted operating area eliminated.
