Werkzeug fuer einen Industrieroboter

The description refers to a tool for an industrial robot which comprises a multi-part (multi-axis) robot arm and a control unit which controls the relative position of the individual arm parts, and to which the tool can be flanged. The invention is characterized by the fact that the tool comprises a linear displacement unit (5, 6) whose displacement direction lies in the axis of the last arm part (1), and which can be flanged to the tool flange (2) of the industrial robot. At least one tool arm part (7, 9) is mounted in a swivel joint on the sliding carriage (6) at a first swivel axis parallel to the axis of the linear displacement unit. Moreover, handling elements can be attached to the front end of the linear displacement unit and to the tool arm unit.
