Description

Stakcer crane and drive controlling method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to stakcer crane, in the fabrication shop of quartz conductor manufacturing, LCD panel etc., this stakcer crane is arranged in the piler of the freak oil in the manufacturing process being taken care of temporarily, being taken in because of activity time adjustment etc.Wherein, relate in particular to the high-rise stakcer crane that is arranged in the high-rise piler.
Background technology
In the layout of representative type semiconductor factory dust-free workshop, the inter process track that can lay a plurality of in-process annular orbits and connect these a plurality of in-process annular orbits, with this in-process annular orbit and inter process track in abutting connection with disposing the piler that substrates such as wafer are carried out the semiconductor processing device of a series of processings (forming film, photolithography, cleaning, etching, inspection etc.), the substrate in the course of processing etc. is taken care of temporarily.Generally, with substrate receptions such as wafers wafer transfer box) etc. in FOUP (Front Opening Unified Pod: can protect in its special-purpose accommodating container of avoiding contamination by dust, thereby between semiconductor processing device, piler, carry.
In addition, the treatment process of substrates such as wafer is managed by the cable terminal of being installed on the FOUP that takes in this substrate, the indication that the controller of unified control operation is recognized substrate, sent processed according to cable terminal information.
FOUP avoids contamination by dust for protective substrate, thereby a plurality of substrates are inserted the container of taking in keeping in the slit; For protective substrate is avoided contamination by dust, in course of conveying, to keep airtight conditions.In addition, open when only handle in each semiconductor device at the Qianmen of FOUP, by the substrate transfer mechanism substrate is taken out one by one, be accommodated in the FOUP by the substrate transfer mechanism once again after through necessary the processing, the Qianmen is closed.
Wherein, OHT (the OverheadHoist Transport: overhead lifting transmission) conveying carrier, unmanned waggon, roller path delivery system etc. that adopt in the FOUP conveying mechanism in the dust-free workshop more.
Yet, in a series of semiconductor fabrication process, but can different because of the treatment types for the treatment of stations that accept to handle also be had nothing in common with each other in the processing time that is accommodated in the substrate among the FOUP.Therefore, the FOUP that takes in the substrate of accepting certain processing often can not be by in the processing equipment of sending into next step immediately and in time be for further processing.Promptly mean in this case to produce the wait time of FOUP before in supplying to the processing equipment of subsequent processing take in the substrate of accepting certain processing, more mean to need the Custodian that this FOUP that waits for operation is taken care of temporarily.Usually, so purpose and the FOUP Custodian that is provided with is a piler.
Piler has shelf and the stakcer crane that is the setting of chessboard trellis on whole short transverse, and stakcer crane and each shelf contraposition that is configured on the whole short transverse carry out FOUP is sent into, sends the shipment action of shelf.With FOUP sending in piler, be that disposing, waiting in the wait time before the semiconductor processing device that enters subsequent processing in certain semiconductor-fabricating device carried out; With FOUP sending in the piler, then be semiconductor-fabricating device send to the FOUP of keeping in piler handle require the time carry out.
This stakcer crane has: main body, and it is accepted along the control of the track travel of laying in the horizontal direction; Lifting body, it accepts mobile control along the vertical direction on as the column of this main body main portion, and above-mentioned lifting body is provided with manipulator, FOUP is sent into above-mentioned shelf or is sent from above-mentioned shelf by this manipulator.
Yet corresponding to the shelf number of plies in the piler, being used for the stakcer crane that the goods to above-mentioned piler loads and unloads also will increase necessary height, runs through multilayer and the high-rise piler that is provided with usually can be very high.When using high-rise piler, the bending of column during walking, want will become problem stabilization time of vibration of the upper end of stabilizer column when stopping.That is, the bending meeting of column produces considerable influence to the aligning accuracy of stakcer crane, in addition since stakcer crane must after vibration damping, send into and send operation, so can produce considerable influence the stabilization time of vibration to operating efficiency.As the method that addresses these problems, habitual technology is exactly to improve the method for column rigidity, but this conventional techniques can cause the maximization of column, and power required when causing the column walking increases, so the suitable leeway of this conventional techniques is limited.
By solving the above-mentioned conventional techniques purpose that is beyond one's reach, seek to improve the problems referred to above, following prior art is disclosed at Japanese Patent open communique 2005-212919 number (JP2005-212919A), flat 6-100109 number (JP6-100109A).
Disclosed technology is the technology about stakcer crane among the JP2005-212919A, and based on following structure: be respectively arranged with top travel driving unit and lower running actuating device in top, bottom, stakcer crane carried out travel controls, position control by the lower running actuating device as the column of this stakcer crane main portion structure.And this technical characterictic is: the speed signal (can be regarded as and comprise that speed is 0 speed-slackening signal) according to above-mentioned lower running actuating device, and the top travel driving unit is driven and brakes, suppress the vibration of column by this top travel driving unit.
Disclosed technology is the extra high stakcer crane of a kind of body among the JP6-100109A, the vibration that its structure produces when stopping seeking to suppress to walk and accurately orientate main purpose as in this stakcer crane upper end.And this technical characterictic is: will be fixed in put on the shelf the pushing roller of end of stakcer crane and push to the ceiling guide rail along the top direction of travel configuration of stakcer crane pillar, to seek the stabilized walking of stakcer crane.
In addition, when stakcer crane stops at assigned position, when lifting body starts, will detect side-play amount between the stakcer crane upper and lower end parts by the top pulse coder, be correction offset, transmit upper motor power, drive above-mentioned pushing roller thus by magnetic clutch.Come to prevent effectively stakcer crane thus in the predetermined stop position run-off the straight, and when stopping, suppressing the vibration on column top.
