Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A universal robot comprising an X-axis arm (3) which is mounted on a post (1) through a support member (2) movable in the vertical direction and is tiltable into a desired position, and a Z-axis arm (6) which is mounted on a slider (5) movable along the X-axis arm (3) and is tiltable into a desired position. With this arrangement, the transportation of a load to be moved in two-dimensional directions can be carried out by a single linear movement of the slider, so that not only the time required for the load transportation can be reduced but the accuracy of the transportation can be improved very much.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a universal robot wherein an X-axis arm is mounted on a support means provided on a post and a Z-axis arm is mounted on a slider slidable on the X-axis arm in the longitudinal direction thereof, which robot is characterized in that said X-axis arm is mounted on said support member through a rotating mechanism which is rotatable into and lockable in a desired position, said Z-axis arm is mounted on said slider through a rotating mechanism which is rotatable into and lockable in a desired position, and said support member is mounted on said post movably in the vertical direction.
