Abstract:
An industrial robot's carrier member having a plate-shape or a fork-share configured to carry a precision instrument element subjected to ultraviolet (UV) light cleaning, comprising:a fiber-reinforced composite material as a primary carrier member, said fiber-reinforced composite material being a fiber-reinforced plastic; and a UV resistant coating layer formed as an outmost layer on a surface of the fiber-reinforced composite material, said coating layer having a smooth surface and an even thickness of 50 to 250 &mgr;m, said coating layer being made of a material selected from the group consisting of ceramics and cermets and formed on the surface at a temperature of about 50Â° C. to about 200Â° C., said coating layer having UV resistance as measured by a UV irradiation test of repeating irradiation of UV at 180-254 nm 60 times.
