Summary of the invention
Liquid crystal is sent into the articulated robot of accumulator to large scale development with laminal workpiece taking-up such as glass substrate, semiconductor crystal wafer, requirement is handled when increasing the substrate number of handling at short notice, in order to improve the qualification rate of substrate, the dust that requires as far as possible to suppress robot produces in addition.Therefore for robot, almost arrive the height of ceiling to the accumulator of placement substrate, realize that high speed, high accuracy, low dust still become important problem although equipment self maximizes.On the other hand, the equipment of maximization keeps the clean equipment investment that needs great number in order to make cleannes on every side, therefore wishes to dispose more substrate and handle in accumulator.And, wish to reduce occupied area for articulated robot, reduce radius of turn so that do not interfere with the device that is configured in factory.
And the production number average annual growth of crystal liquid substrate, semiconductor crystal wafer etc. is in order to enhance productivity for robot requirement carrying productivity ratio.But, so because robot comprises that machine components need to safeguard that maintenance time also becomes the key factor that relates to productivity ratio, hope can easily be safeguarded.
But existing articulated robot is the arm cardinal extremity from the outstanding structure that is configured to the carrying substrate subtend of all-moving surface, therefore, produces owing to can't prevent the dust of reciprocating mechanism, so produced the problem that fine dust is piled up etc. on substrate.
And, arm is by reciprocating mechanism when mobile downwards, because so the supporting member of arm and pedestal collision can't move to the bottom of reciprocating mechanism, produce the problem that movable range narrows down, produced the problem that the height that takes out the accumulator of sending into crystal liquid substrate or semiconductor crystal wafer uprises.Furthermore, the height of accumulator is limited by the height of shop building, and therefore, the panel of configuration or the number of substrate tail off because of the movable range of reciprocating mechanism narrows down, and have produced the problem that production efficiency is reduced.
And, have motor, belt wheel etc. at the arm cardinal extremity, therefore, on above-below direction thicker structure.Therefore, produced the problem at the interval of having to widely to set configuration crystal liquid substrate in the accumulator or semiconductor substrate.That is to say, thus since the configurable panel or the number of substrate in accumulator tail off and produced production efficiency and reduce such problem.For fear of such problem, take out when sending into by reciprocating mechanism, can consider to change the height of arm, at this moment,, produced the problem of elongated grade of activity duration for the sequentially-operating that arm is moved up and down needs spended time.
And existing articulated robot is that the arm cardinal extremity is configured to coaxial structure up and down.Therefore, for the machine components that are configured at the arm cardinal extremity are the exchange of motor, belt wheel etc., must take to unload the method that exchanges behind next group arm etc., therefore, it is long to have produced maintenance time, the problem of production efficiency reduction.
And, existing articulated robot is, because supporting member moves by travel mechanism on a pillar, so when accumulator becomes the height that almost reaches ceiling, need to make a column length elongated inevitably, when rigidity reduced, the guiding mechanism that is configured in inner travel mechanism also needed to become and a consistent length of column length.But, when making guiding mechanism elongated, because guiding accuracy reduces because of elongated, so the mobile accuracy of the supporting member that moves by travel mechanism reduces, mounting reduces in the crystal liquid substrate of the hand 8 of arm front end or the positioning accuracy of semiconductor crystal wafer, because substrate or wafer and accumulator case of collision take place, produced the problem that causes qualification rate to reduce.
The present invention is based on the problems referred to above and carries out, purpose provides the pollution that a kind of dust that prevents to move up and down axle produces caused substrate, has improved the articulated robot of liquid crystal being sent into accumulator with laminal workpiece taking-up such as glass substrate, semiconductor crystal wafer of production efficiency simultaneously.
