Inventor: RIWAN ALAIN
IPC: B25J3/04
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: The invention concerns a master arm comprising a wrist (6) maintained at a constant global inclination to ensure excellent decoupling of translational controls performed by moving the segments (3, 4), and rotational controls, performed by rotating the wrist. The operator's task is simplified and kinematic irregularities are practically non-existent. One particular embodiment comprises a wrist-holder (5) and a special linkage (18 to 22) which links the latter to a fixed seat, and the mobile elements (7, 8, 9) of the wrist have articulation axes meeting in a point (0). Thus, the wrist (6) is balanced in rotation and exerts a constant force on the arm segments (3, 4), thereby enabling to balance them easily with static return means. The arm can thus remain in a stable position even when it is released.
