  • a movable arm;

    a robot drive connected to the movable arm, where the robot drive comprises a first drive configured to extend and retract the movable arm and a second drive configured to move the movable arm and the first drive along a linear path, where the first drive comprises a rotary drive which comprises a rotational axis, where the linear drive comprises a base movably mounted on a slide, where the first drive is mounted on the base, and where the linear drive is configured to move the base on the slide in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis of the rotary drive; and

    a heat transfer system comprising a first heat transfer member on the base and a second heat transfer member, where the heat transfer system is configured to transfer heat from the first drive to the first heat transfer member and then from the first heat transfer member to the second heat transfer member, where the first heat transfer member travels with the base, and where the first heat transfer member moves relative to the second heat transfer member as the base moves relative to the slide.
