In the absorption of carrying out this glass substrate 3, compressed-air supply portion 46 supplies with pressurized air by pipe arrangement to the space part of moving into substrate placing stage 1 and substrate floating parts 11, from airport 4,12 blowing out pressurised air.
At this moment, form air layer between substrate placing stage 1 and glass substrate 3, glass substrate 3 floats above substrate placing stage 1.And the air that blows out from airport 4 does not circulate by the groove 5 of substrate placing stage 1 at described air layer with stopping.Therefore, glass substrate 3 floats on substrate placing stage 1 with the state that keeps planeness.In addition, roller 53 and the glass substrate 3 that floats by pressurized air following highly roughly the same, even so glass substrate 3 below when warpage or deflection, also can correct be that horizontality, glass substrate 3 are floated to the both sides of glass substrate 3 and conveyor surface that can contact substrate plummer 1 by each roller 53.
Then, as shown in Figure 5, mobile control division 48 make have two delivery section 29,30 of being adsorbed on absorption layer 29b, 30b below the glass substrate 3 with identical speed on each slide plate 23,24 to the same moved further of throughput direction C.Thus, glass substrate 3 is used to float above substrate placing stage 1 and substrate floating parts 11 from the pressurized air of each airport 4,12, is transported to substrate floating parts 11 from substrate placing stage 1 fast by delivery section 29,30.At this moment, the roller 53 that is located at substrate placing stage 1 and substrate floating parts 11 contacts below the both sides of glass substrate 3 of the foreign side's side that is positioned at graphics field G, and rotates to the J direction.
When finishing glass substrate 3 to the conveying of substrate floating parts 11, compressed-air supply portion 46 stops to supply with pressurized airs to the airport of moving into substrate placing stage 14.And at this moment, mobile control division 48 moves delivery section 31,32 reversing senses to throughput direction C on two slide plates 25,26 that are positioned at pars intermedia.
These delivery section 31,32 arrive glass substrate 3 below the time substrate that stops on the slide plate 25,26 shift the reference position, each arm 31a, 32a are risen, utilize vacuum suction portion 47 absorption layer 31b, 32b be adsorbed on glass substrate 3 below.The contact position that the absorption position of these absorption layers 31b, 32b is compared roller 53 is in foreign side's side of the Width of glass substrate 3, and is the front side towards the glass substrate 3 of throughput direction C.
When absorption layer 31b, 32b are adsorbed on the glass substrate 3, be disengaged based on the absorption of each absorption layer 29b, 30b of the delivery section 29,30 of vacuum suction portion 47, each arm 29a, 30a descend.Thus, the absorption of glass substrate 3 keeps transferring to delivery section 31,32 from delivery section 29,30.Then, two delivery section 29,30 reversing sense to throughput direction C on slide plate 23,24 separately moves, and stops at the substrate of moving into substrate placing stage 1 and shifts reference position and standby.
After the transfer of finishing glass substrate 3, the delivery section 31,32 of absorption maintenance glass substrate 3 moves to throughput direction C on each slide plate 25,26 simultaneously and rapidly with identical speed as shown in Figure 6.At this moment, roller 53 contacts that are provided with near the both sides of substrate floating parts 11 are positioned at below the Width both ends of glass substrate 3 of foreign side's side of graphics field G, and rotate to the J direction.Thus, the glass substrate 3 that floats on substrate floating parts 11 is transferred portion's 31,32 tractives and the arrival inspection E of portion.
At the E of inspection portion, is the speed of delivery section 29,30 low speed from High-speed Control, so that glass substrate 3 reaches the speed that is fit to inspection, for example, the inspection that use has a line sensor is obtained the view data of glass substrate 3 with machine 15, carries out figure inspection, detection of defects of glass substrate 3 etc. according to this view data.
After the inspection of the E of inspection portion finished, absorption kept the delivery section 31,32 of glass substrate 3 to move simultaneously and rapidly on each slide plate 25,26 with identical speed, carries glass substrate 3 to throughput direction C.At this moment, the roller 53 that is located at substrate floating parts 11 and substrate placing stage 16 contacts below the both sides of glass substrate 3 of the foreign side's side that is positioned at graphics field G, and rotates to the J direction.
When glass substrate 3 arrives the downstream of substrate floating parts 11, the absorption of glass substrate 3 keeps shifting (being subjected to け to cross The) to being positioned at the delivery section 33,34 of taking out of with substrate placing stage 16 sides from the delivery section 31,32 that is positioned at substrate floating parts 11 sides, and compressed-air supply portion 46 supplies with pressurized air to the airport 18 of taking out of with substrate placing stage 16 simultaneously.From of the transfer of these delivery section 31,32, with identical to the transfer of delivery section 31,32 from aforesaid delivery section 29,30 to the glass substrate 3 of delivery section 33,34.
After the transfer of glass substrate 3 finished, delivery section 33,34 is quick travel on slide plate 27,28, carried glass substrate 3 to throughput direction C.And in the time of above usefulness substrate placing stage 16 is taken out of in glass substrate 3 arrival, each delivery section 33,34 stops at substrate and shifts the reference position.
At substrate placing stage 16, compressed-air supply portion 46 stops to supply with pressurized air to the airport 18 of substrate placing stage 16.At this moment, remove absorption, each arm 33a, 34a are descended, lift pin 20 is risen, pick up glass substrate 3 by the lower surface of 47 pairs of glass substrates 3 of vacuum suction portion.Thus, glass substrate 3 is placed on the lift pin 20.Take out of with conveying mechanical arm 21 one side and make 22 rotations of hand conveying arm, advance and retreat, one side is taken out the glass substrate 3 that inspecteds finish and is accommodated in the box from lift pin 20.
Afterwards, at a plurality of glass substrates 3, sequentially carry out repeatedly carrying, checking and take out of from substrate placing stage 16 to the moving into of substrate placing stage 1, air.
As mentioned above, according to this base board delivery device, roller 53 contacts are also supported below the sidepiece of the outstanding glass substrate 3 in the both sides of substrate placing stage 1,16 and substrate floating parts 11, so when carrying glass substrate 3, the both sides that can stop glass substrate 3 are in the lower side deflection, even and glass substrate 3 when the lower side warpage, also can correct glass substrate 3 and be horizontality.
Therefore, utilize pressurized air that the graphics field G of glass substrate 3 is floated from conveyor surface, and utilize the both sides of roller 53 support glass substrates 3, can stablize thus and carry glass substrate 3 apace and its both sides are not contacted with substrate floating parts 11 with substrate placing stage 1,16, and can prevent glass substrate 3 contact substrate plummers 1,16 and substrate floating parts 11 and impaired.In addition, utilize the graphics field G outside of roller 53 support glass substrates 3 not have the both sides of figure, therefore the graphics field G that can make roller 53 not contact glass substrate 3 thus carries, and can prevent the lower surface of glass substrate 3 that should graphics field G impaired.
