Abstract
An industrial robot wrist unit comprising a wrist housing capable of being detachably mounted to the distal end of a robot arm, the housing having two fork arms supporting a pivotally mounted tilt housing which supports a rotatably mounted turntable on which an external implement can be mounted. The tilt housing is positively confined between the fork arms so that reactive forces stemming from the gearings in the housing are prevented from forcing the fork arms apart.
