Today’s Patent – 7-Axis Multi-Joint Robot Having Horizontal Movement Ability

The said invention (US12257701B1) was invented by Dong Heon Kim and patented by USPTO on May 31^st, 2024. Currently, it stands assigned to the Yuilrobotics Co Ltd .

The present invention discloses a horizontally movable 7-axis multi-joint robot featuring a robot arm with multiple jointed units, mounted on a transport member that moves along a horizontal guide rail. A base supports the arm, while a weight balancing arm with a counteracting weight pendulum offsets the robot arm’s weight to reduce rail stress. The system includes a control unit that dynamically adjusts the pendulum’s position based on the robot arm’s movement and load, using a rail-mounted coupling arm with an electromagnet. This design enhances robot versatility, reduces guide rail stress during operation, and broadens application potential across industrial tasks.
