Problems solved by technology

[0008] A disadvantage of known supply line guides is that the hoses together with the supply line are subjected to high tensile and torsional loads
Damage to hoses and supply lines subject to such constant loading will not be possible to completely avoid

Embodiment Construction

[0024] image 3 Indicates a supply line guide with rotatable guides in a robot. The figure shows a C-arm x-ray system 1 having a C-arm 2 with a radiation source 3 and a radiation detector 4 . The C-arm 2 is mounted on a robot arm 5 with a plurality of arm segments 6 connected to each other and to the C-arm 2 and the robot support 8 through hinges 7 . The radiation source 3 and the radiation detector 4 mounted on the C-arm 2 are supplied by supply lines (not shown) which lead to the C-arm 2 in a hose 9 . The storage element 11 mounted on the robot arm 5 accommodates the reserves of hoses necessary to guarantee the freedom of movement, together with the reserves of the supply lines, and releases them when required according to the movements performed by the robot arm 5 . The storage element 11 releases the hose 9 when the tension on the hose 9 increases due to the movement of the robot arm 5 and pulls the hose 9 back in when the tension on the hose 9 decreases due to the movem...

Abstract

The robotic arrangement has a robot (1) with a robot arm (5) formed from arm elements (6), which carries an apparatus. The apparatus is powered by an electrical supply line. A guiding element (10) is provided for guiding the supply line at the robot arm. The guiding element is fixed at the arm element. The guiding element is rotary arranged around a longitudinal axis of the arm element.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device comprising a robot having a robot arm consisting of arm segments carrying equipment powered by at least one power supply line. Background technique [0002] A common problem in robotics in industry and medical technology stems from the fact that the equipment carried by the robot arm is supplied via numerous electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and / or other supply lines. They generally cannot be routed inside the robot arm, since this would require a correspondingly movable feedthrough for each supply line in each joint of the robot arm. The supply lines are therefore generally routed to the equipment outside the robot arm. To prevent damage to these supply lines, they are often enclosed in hoses. Corrugated hoses are preferably used for this, since they have good flexibility in all directions while being strong. [0003] Leading cables to external devices mounted on the robot must be done near the robot arm. In order ...
