Abstract
A robot system has an enhanced cooling efficiency of the interior of a robot controller thereof. A robot mechanical unit has a base with an internal vacant space. The robot controller is arranged in close contact with the base of the robot mechanical unit, and a radiating fin of a servoamplifier arranged within the robot controller projects into the vacant space within the base. Most heat within such a robot controller is generated by the servoamplifier. The radiating fin dissipates the heat generated by the servoamplifier into the vacant space within the base of the robot mechanical unit. The base has a large surface area, which makes it possible to efficiently dissipate heat within it for cooling of the same. This improves the cooling efficiency of the interior of the robot controller.
