Abstract
Description
図1は、実施形態1に係るパラレルリンク機構を側方から視た側面図である。図2は、各基部側ジョイントを軸方向に切った断面図である。図3は、エンドエフェクタベースから第2方向(基部側ジョイントの方)を見た図である。図4は、パラレルリンク機構(ツールを外した状態)を第1方向から視た図である。図5は、各ジョイントの回転軸の延長線を指す方向を説明するための図である。図6は、実施形態1に係るパラレルリンク機構が作動した状態を示す側面図である。
次に、実施形態2のパラレルリンク機構100Aについて説明する。なお、実施形態1において、説明した構成と技術的に同じ構成については、実施形態1と同じ符号を付し、詳細な説明を省略する。
