Abstract

PURPOSE:To transfer a semiconductor manufacturing cassette on an apparatus of several m by providing a driving system except a hand at the position lower than the handling surface of the cassette. CONSTITUTION:A body has an X-axis moving mechanism which laterally moves a bearing 3 on two guide rails 2 secured on a base 1 by the engagement of a pinion 29 with a rack 8, a Y-axis moving mechanism which longitudinally moves a base 9 by a drive motor 13, and an elevational Z-axis moving mechanism which elevationally moves a moving unit 12 by a ball screw 30. A hand is supported by a base 14 coupled with the unit 12. A cassette 19 is opened or closed at supporting side plates 26, 27 in chucking by an air cylinder 16. The X-, Y- and X-axis direction driving mechanisms of the body are disposed lower than the position of the handling surface of the cassette.

(Prior art) In the past, handling of semiconductor-related cassettes in this building's clean room relied on manual labor.
Even if it was automated, it was still a dedicated machine. Normally, cassettes are picked up from other equipment, rotated, turned in a certain direction, and transferred to another location, but in conventional automatic handling equipment, the cassette rotation mechanism is separate for each required station. It was set up as follows.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The industrial robot of the present invention has a hand that has a chuck mechanism for transferring a semiconductor manufacturing cassette and a 90° rotation mechanism that facilitates taking out a wafer from the cassette. The main body consists of a rack and pinion, an X-axis traveling mechanism capable of long-distance travel by driving a DC servo motor, and a DC servo motor and a ball screw. It is equipped with a Y (IT moving mechanism) that moves in the front-rear direction and a 2-axis vertical movement mechanism that moves up and down by a ball screw drive, and the x, y, and z axes are servo controlled, and this allows three-dimensional movement within the operating range. The structure is such that it is possible to position a semiconductor manufacturing cassette at multiple points in space.
