Secondly, robot hand 3 is driven by robot controller 4, robot hand 3 is rotated around wrist axis line L, such as Be moved to the movable tine 5 of robot hand 3 shown in Figure 19 keeps the movable latch for printed circuit 35 of tool 30 corresponding with article Position.From this state, the movable tine 5 of robot hand 3 is carried out opening action, pass through movable claw as shown in figure 20 The radial direction outboard end of part 5 and make movable vertical plate 43 towards radial direction lateral displacement.Thus, movable latch for printed circuit 35 to Radial direction lateral displacement and release workpiece W hold mode.
Now, the radial direction outer peripheral face (the outer surface 5b in Fig. 2 B) of movable tine 5 is pressed against article and keeps tool The inner peripheral surface 33a of 30 cylinder part 33, thus, turn into the state for keeping article to keep tool 30 by movable tine 5.Also It is to say, in this example, simultaneously releases the hold mode that article keeps 30 couples of workpiece W of tool, thing is simultaneously kept by movable tine 5 Product keep tool 30 (the 2nd keeps pattern).
From the state shown in Figure 20, robots arm 2 is driven by robot controller 4, makes robot as shown in figure 21 Portion 3 rises and keeps tool 30 (keeping tool removal step) from workpiece W removals article.
As described above, according to present embodiment, prepare according only to the workpiece W of conveyance object shape article keep tool 7, 30, without using the complicated and expensive device such as tool changer, and shape can be transported using common robot hand 3 Different various workpieces W.
In addition, in said embodiment, maintained due to keeping article to keep tool 7,30 by using robot hand 3 Article keeps 7,30 couples of workpiece W of tool hold mode, therefore workpiece W drops when can be prevented securely from conveyance.
In addition, in the article shown in Figure 14 A to Figure 14 C keeps tool 30, pass through the movable tine 5 of robot hand 3 It is also to keep article to keep tool 30 by movable tine 5 to release article and keep the action of 30 couples of workpiece W of tool hold mode Action, it is thus possible to which the activity duration is shortened into job step simplification.
