121 Extendable arm and structure using the same US14421712 2013-12-05 US09316350B2 2016-04-19 Norimichi Matsuoka
An extendable arm (30) is formed by a plurality of cross units (31) arranged in one direction and pivotally coupled to each other, and each of the cross units is formed by two rigid members (31a, 31b) that are pivotally coupled at a central coupling point (c) so as to cross over each other to form an X-shape. In order for the extendable arm (30) to follow a curved-line path when being extended and contracted, each of the rigid members (31a, 31b) has such a curved shape that coupling points (d, e) at both ends of the rigid member are shifted toward one side from a longitudinal axis passing through the central coupling point (c).
122 Direct acting extensible and retractable arm mechanism, and robot arm provided with direct acting extensible and retractable arm mechanism US13699800 2011-05-25 US09248576B2 2016-02-02 Woo-Keun Yoon
A robot arm (50) of the present invention includes, as a direct acting extensible/retractable joint (J3), an arm section (2) constituted by an upper structure group (20) and a lower structure group (21). Groups (20) and (21), having an arrangement in which structures are connected in series, partially engage so as to form a direct rigid combined structure, and are separated so as to release the rigid structure. An arm length can be adjusted arbitrarily. Section (2) can have a plane surface having no gap to prevent entry of a finger/dust. Separation of Groups (20) and (21) allows an upper structure (22) and a lower structure (23) to rotate around their rotational axes, to realize compact storage inside a robot arm supporting member (1). It is thus possible to prevent significantly entry of a finger/dust, and provide a compact direct acting extensible and retractable arm mechanism.

Positional relationships between the moving flat surfaces and the reference flat surfaces become predetermined positional relationships when the link parts rotate to reference positions for calibration of position. The fixtures have measuring devices arranged at measurement positions with known positional relationships with respect to the reference flat surfaces.

139 Unitary specimen prealigner and continuously rotatable four link robot arm mechanism US834704 1997-04-01 US6126381A 2000-10-03 Paul Bacchi; Paul S. Filipski
A unitary prealigner and four link robot arm includes an upper arm, a middle arm, a forearm, and a hand that is equipped with vacuum pressure outlets to securely hold a specimen. The robot arm is carried atop a tube that is controllably positionable along a Z-axis direction. The prealigner is attached to the tube by a movable carriage that is elevatable relative to the robot arm. The prealigner further includes a rotatable chuck having a vacuum pressure outlet for securely holding a specimen in place within an edge detector assembly that senses a peripheral edge of the specimen. The prealigner may be elevated to receive a specimen from the robot arm or it may be lowered to allow clearance for the robot arm to rotate. In operation, the robot arm retrieves a specimen and places it on the prealigner, which performs an edge scanning operation to determine the effective center and specific orientation of the specimen. The robot arm then performs angular and extension correction operations to position the grasp center of the hand over the effective center of the specimen, thereby placing the specimen in a predetermined alignment relative to the hand. Finally, an exchange of vacuum pressure releases the specimen from the prealigner and secures it once again on the hand, and the robot arm delivers the specimen in the predetermined alignment to a processing station at a second elevation and at a location that compensates for the angular and extension correction operations.
140 Universally tiltable Z axis drive arm US103261 1998-06-23 US6059516A 2000-05-09 Genco Genov; Dimitre Todorov, deceased; Alexander Todorov, executor
A tilting elevator is set forth. A rigid frame has a base, a structurally rigid structure extending upwardly from the base, and a flange attached to the structure top. The flange is generally parallel to the base. A movable elevatable structure is telescopically mounted to the rigid frame. The elevatable structure comprises upper and lower spaced apart generally parallel plates. At least three generally parallel rods extend between the plates and are connected to them by universal joints. A motor system is supported rigidly relative to the base. Each of the rods is movable relative to the plates independently of each other rod. A robotic arm having R-, .theta.- and Z-motion can be mounted to the elevator. A mechanism is preferably attached to the bottom plate of the elevatable structure for increasing the stability of the system. With the addition of a sensor and using microprocessor control, canted workpieces can be readily picked up.
