For example, the robot arm device shown in FIG. 5 uses a hand consisting of a pair of opening/closing fingers 52a*52b that move toward and away from each other by a drive mechanism (not shown) built into a base 51 attached to the tip of the robot arm 50. Work 53
After gripping the workpiece 53, the workpiece 53 is moved to a target position in order to perform a predetermined work, and then the workpiece 53 is released.

Particularly in the case where the robot arm is a multiplex type robot arm, the accuracy of positioning the workpiece is greatly influenced by the accuracy of determining the rotation angle of each joint and the rigidity of the arm. In other words, if each joint does not have a hole to obtain the desired rotational precision, or if the arm is insufficiently rigid, the resolution of the determined position of the hand becomes coarse.

The present invention, which was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, has two fingers in the hand of an industrial robot that grips and opens a workpiece at multiple points using at least two opening/closing fingers that move toward and away from each other in parallel by a drive mechanism. A member movable relative to the one closing finger is disposed at a contact portion of the two opening/closing fingers with the work, and at least one of the members determines a relative position of the member with respect to the opening/closing finger. The hand of the industrial robot is characterized in that the seventh member is provided with a member driving means for moving the member, and the entire opening/closing finger has a driving means relative to the hand base.

In the industrial robot hand according to the present invention, the member disposed on the opening/closing finger (4) is moved relative to the opening/closing finger by the member driving means with the workpiece, and the entire opening/closing finger is movable, so that the workpiece cannot be moved. It is possible to move the opening/closing fingers in front and in the left and right directions with respect to the hand.Therefore, it is possible to move the workpiece in the front, back, left and right directions relative to the hand base without moving the robot arm, making it possible to create a highly accurate and highly rigid robot arm. It is possible to perform fine fitting work without the need.
