NITTA rotary joint * is an epoch-making device which can improve the freedom of manipulator infinitely and greatly expand the flexibility of action. Because there is no need to deal with the tedious piping and wiring, and the rotating part can supply current and fluid continuously to the fixed part and the fixed part to the rotating part, the problem of stopping the production line caused by the cutting off of the original cable and hose can be solved, and the production beat can be shortened and the productivity can be improved. Especially for spot welding manipulators in the automobile industry, off-line teaching can be achieved which was once impossible.
