Specifically, the rotary table unit 35 includes a circular rotary table 36. The outer peripheral wall of the rotary table 36 is provided with a first protrusion 36 a and a second protrusion 36 b which protrude in the radial direction. The first protrusion 36 a and the second protrusion 36 b are provided at positions separated by 90 °. The rotary table portion 35 is provided with a first stopper 37a and a second stopper 37b in parallel. The first stopper 37 a and the second stopper 37 b define the rotation range of the driver portion 38. The first and second protrusions 36a and 36b of the rotary table 36 are in contact with the first and second stoppers 37a and 37b, respectively. Thereby, the rotation range of the driver unit 38 installed on the rotary table 36 is set to 90 °. However, while the HDD rotation table unit 12 is installed to rotate the holder 15 in the horizontal plane, the rotation table unit 35 is installed to rotate the driver unit 38 in the vertical plane. The vertical plane is a plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Thus, the driver unit 38 can rotate between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. That is, the driver unit 38 holds the screw 7 supplied to the screw supply unit 50, and the first state in which the screw unit 7 is pulled upward in the vertical direction and the extension direction of the shaft 7b of the held screw 7 coincides with the horizontal direction It can be in the 2 state.

  In such a positioning needle 40, for example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the positions of the side wall mounting hole 5a provided in the HDD main body 5 and the mounting hole 6a1 provided in the side arm 6a are shifted. When you adjust the position of both. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the tapered end portion 40b1 of the needle portion 40b is inserted into one side wall mounting hole 5a and mounting hole 6a1, the HDD main body 5 and the HDD carrier 6 are inserted. The relative position with is adjusted. Thus, when the relative position between the HDD main body 5 and the HDD carrier 6 is adjusted, the positional relationship between the side wall mounting holes 5a and the mounting holes 6a1 at other positions is also corrected, and the screw 7 can be easily inserted. . The positioning needle 40 may be inserted into the side wall mounting hole 5a and the mounting hole 6a1 at any position (a) to (d) where screwing is performed. Since the HDD main body 5 is positioned relative to the holder 15 by the positioning pin 15g, the HDD carrier 6 actually moves when positioning by the positioning needle 40.

  Next, the screw supply unit 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of the screw supply unit 50. As shown in FIG. FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing the screw 7 moving on the conveyance rail 151. FIG. 15 is an explanatory view showing the posture of the driver unit 38 with respect to the screw supply unit 50. As shown in FIG. The screw supply unit 50 conveys the screw 7 stocked in the screw storage unit 50 a to the screw extraction unit 152 along the conveyance rail 151. Referring to FIG. 14, the screw 7 is transported on the transport rail 151 in a state in which the head portion 7 a is exposed to the upper side of the transport rail 151 and the extending direction of the shaft portion 7 b matches the vertical direction. The screw 7 is transported on the transport rail 151 by vibrating the transport rail 151 in a predetermined direction, and reaches the screw extraction portion 152. The screw 7 that has reached the screw takeout portion 152 is held by a driver portion 38 that moves up and down along an axis Ax2 extending in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. The screw 7 held by the driver 38 is in a second state in which the direction in which the shaft 7 b extends is the same as the horizontal direction as the driver 38 rotates in the vertical plane.

  Next, an example of the operation of the assembling apparatus 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, as preparation in advance, as shown in FIG. 7A, the HDD main body 5 is set on the holder 15, and the HDD carrier 6 is set.

And the process of step S11 which performs screw fastening of a position (c) to step S13 is performed. The processes of steps S11 to S13 are the same as the processes of steps S2 to S4, and thus the detailed description thereof is omitted. The process from step S11 to step S13 is a second screwing process.

  Then, in step S14, the driver unit 38 is rotated again by the rotary table unit 35 as in step S5. Thereafter, in step S15, the holder rotation process is performed again. Specifically, the HDD rotation table unit 12 rotates the holder 15 by 180 ° around the axis Ax1 as a rotation axis. However, the rotation direction at this time is counterclockwise (CCW) unlike step S6. In addition, the order of the process of step S14 and step S15 may be reverse, and you may carry out simultaneously.

  The processes of step S16 to step S18 performed subsequently to step S15 are the same as the processes of step S2 to step S4, and thus the detailed description thereof is omitted. The process from step S16 to step S18 is a first screwing process. By the completion of the process of step S18, screwing of the positions (a) to (d) is completed, the HDD main body 5 and the HDD carrier 6 are assembled, and the storage device 4 is completed. After the process of step S18 is completed, the driver unit 38 is returned in the vertical direction in step S19, and the series of processes is completed.
