Robot with at least partly externally running cables

A robot has a plurality of relatively pivotable parts, in particular robotic arms on. Here, there is changes in distance between points of the robot. This is in the management of supply cables for elements and in particular to consider tools of the robot. They must on the one hand can accommodate changes in length, on the other hand, during the movement of the robot to minimize the burden so that they have a high stability and are not damaged prematurely. The invention therefore provides in a robot with at least partly externally running cables, particularly supply cables of tools of the robot, such as a Schweiswerkezugs, in that the cable at the height of the pivotable about the axis of the robot, the robot arm, the cable is substantially in a circular loop are guided.
