L 發明背景 上述搬送裝置係用送風式支撐工具在非接觸狀態下支 樓搬送物,並用推進力給予工具在接觸狀態下給予搬送物 搬送方向的推進力來搬送搬送物之裝置。在搬送作為搬送 物的例如,液晶監視器等之FPD用的玻璃基板的情形中, 用送風式支撐工具在非接觸狀態下支撐以玻璃基板的搬送 方向為前後方向時之左右方向的中央部分,並使推進力给 予工具接觸以搬送方向為前後方向時之左右兩端部以給予 推進力,在保護玻璃基板中被製品化的左右中央部之下__ 邊進行搬送。 而,在對搬送物執行加工等的處理之處理裝置間搬适 搬送物的場合裡,當在前程序的處理裝置和在後程序的處 3 201144195 理裝置中,相對於搬送裝置之搬送物的傳遞姿態(亦即接收 或遞送時的姿態)不同時,會有必須改變用搬送裝置搬送的 搬送物之搬送姿態的情形。此種可變更搬送物的姿態之搬 送裝置的習知例有,在搬送裝置上設置使搬送工具所搬送 之搬送物繞縱軸心旋轉以變更搬送物的搬送姿態之姿態調 整工具的裝置(例如,參照專利文獻1)。 在以前,如同專利文獻1中所載,使搬送物旋轉以變更 搬送姿態的旋轉位置可以做設定,並在旋轉位置將吸附於 搬送物的底面以保持搬送物之吸著部設置成可以繞縱軸心 自由旋轉且自由昇降而構成姿態調整工具。而且,在使吸 著部下降至下降位置的狀態下將搬送物搬送到旋轉位置並 使之停止後,讓吸著部上昇至上昇位置由吸著部吸附保持 著搬送物,在此狀態下讓吸著部繞縱軸心旋轉設定的角 度,藉此使搬送物旋轉以變更搬送姿態。而,搬送物的旋 轉結束後,會解除吸著部的吸附保持,同時使吸著部下降 到下降位置後再次開始搬送物的搬送。 先前技術文獻 專利文獻 【專利文獻1】特開2005-145651號公報 【發明内容】 發明概要 發明欲解決之課題 在以前,因為是以在搬送方向上讓搬送物停止於一定 的旋轉位置的狀態,用吸著部吸附保持並使之旋轉以變更 201144195 姿態,所以如果加速吸著部的_速度來雜姿態調整所 需的時間,則旋轉速度加速及減速時,在搬送物旋轉中心 產生的慣性扭矩會變得比吸著部的吸附保持力大,而有脫 離歸因於吸著部之搬送物的保持無法控制搬送物的旋轉之 虞。因此,必須讓吸著部以低速旋轉,搬送物的姿態變更 就需要時間。另外,在利用姿態調整卫具使搬送物旋轉的 期間,因為搬送物就停止在旋轉位置,所以由搬送工具執 行之搬送物沿搬送方向的移動會停滯。如此,一旦設覃姿 態調整工具做成可以變更搬送物的姿態的形態,就會有搬 送裝置的搬送能力下降的問題。 本發明係有蓉於上述實情而完成的,其目的在於提供 -種既可變更搬送物的姿態’搬送能力又高的搬送裝置這 一點。 用以欲解決課題之手段 為了達成此目的,本發明的搬送裝置是一種,在設有 具備朝搬送物的下面供給空氣而以水平姿態或大致水平的 姿態在非接·態下找搬送物_風式支肛具,及對 由前述送風式支撐卫具支撐著驗送物給予搬送方向的推 進力之推進力給予工具之搬送工具和’使由前述搬送工具 所搬送的搬送物繞縱軸,續旋轉以變更搬送物的搬送姿態 之姿態調整工具和’控制前述搬送工具及前述姿態調整工 具的作動之控制工具的搬送裝置中, 别述姿態凋整工具被建構成具備,對以非接觸狀態受 到支撑之搬送物在平視下的魏個端部形成接合藉以自如 201144195 的:持搬送物的保持部和,使前述保持部繞縱軸心旋轉之 疋^具和’使前縣持部減送方向移動之㈣工具; 狀保持位置用前述保持部將以非接觸狀態受到支擇的 送純純,並在前述移μ具使前述保 而將財接觸狀態受到技的狀態下之搬送物沿 =方:從前述保持位置搬送到下游側的保持解除位置的 ㈣邊利用前述移動工具使前述移動部移動,邊用前述 二二Γ吏翁述保持部旋轉以使所保持的搬送物之搬送姿 搬二的::轉=並且在前述保持解除位置解除 伴括作、控制工具被建構成會對前述保持部的 鏟、別述移動工具的移動作動’及’前述旋轉工且 的方疋轉動作進行控制。 、 如果利用這樣的構成’則搬送工具受到控制工且的控 制,搬送物在由送風式支樓工具以非接觸狀態 〔In the above-mentioned conveyance device, the conveyance device is used to convey the conveyance in the non-contact state, and the propellant is used to convey the conveyance in the conveyance direction of the conveyance in the contact state. In the case of transporting a glass substrate for FPD, such as a liquid crystal monitor, as a transporting object, the center portion in the left-right direction when the transport direction of the glass substrate is in the front-rear direction is supported in a non-contact state by a blower type supporting tool. The propulsive force is applied to the left and right end portions when the conveyance direction is the front-rear direction to give a propulsive force, and the conveyance is carried out under the left and right center portions of the protective glass substrate which are productized. In the case where the transport device is transported between the processing devices that perform processing such as processing on the transported object, the transport device of the transport device is transported by the processing device of the preceding program and the device of the subsequent program 3 201144195 When the transmission posture (that is, the posture at the time of reception or delivery) is different, there is a case where it is necessary to change the conveyance posture of the conveyed object conveyed by the conveyance device. In the conventional example of the conveyance device that can change the posture of the conveyed object, the conveyance device is provided with a posture adjustment tool that rotates the conveyance conveyed by the conveyance tool about the vertical axis to change the conveyance posture of the conveyed object (for example, Refer to Patent Document 1). In the past, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the rotation position at which the conveyance is rotated to change the conveyance posture can be set, and the suction portion that is adsorbed on the bottom surface of the conveyed object to hold the conveyed object can be arranged in the rotation position. The axis is free to rotate and freely moves up and down to form an attitude adjustment tool. In the state where the absorbing portion is lowered to the lowered position and the conveyed object is transported to the rotational position and stopped, the absorbing portion is raised to the raised position, and the absorbing portion is sucked and held by the absorbing portion, and in this state, The suction portion is rotated by a predetermined angle around the longitudinal axis, thereby rotating the conveyed object to change the conveyance posture. When the rotation of the conveyed material is completed, the suction holding of the absorbing portion is released, and the absorbing portion is lowered to the lowered position, and the conveyance of the conveyed material is resumed. CITATION LIST OF THE INVENTION PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION In the prior art, the conveyance is stopped at a constant rotational position in the transport direction. The suction portion is held by the suction portion and rotated to change the posture of 201144195. Therefore, if the _ speed of the suction portion is accelerated to adjust the time required for the posture adjustment, the inertia torque generated at the rotation center of the conveyance when the rotation speed is accelerated and decelerated. The suction holding force of the absorbing portion is larger than that of the absorbing portion, and the rotation of the conveying member due to the detachment of the absorbing portion cannot control the rotation of the conveying object. Therefore, it is necessary to rotate the absorbing portion at a low speed, and it takes time to change the posture of the conveyed object. In addition, during the rotation of the conveyance by the posture adjusting guard, the conveyance stops at the rotation position, and the movement of the conveyed object by the conveyance tool in the conveyance direction is stagnated. As described above, when the posture adjustment tool is configured to change the posture of the conveyed object, there is a problem that the conveying ability of the conveying device is lowered. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the invention is to provide a conveying apparatus capable of changing the posture of a conveyed object and having a high conveying capacity. In order to achieve the object, the conveying apparatus of the present invention is configured to provide a conveyance in a non-contact state in a horizontal posture or a substantially horizontal posture by providing air to the lower surface of the conveyed object. The air-supporting anal device, and the propelling force for propelling the propelling force in the direction in which the inspecting object is supported by the air-supply supporter, and the transporting tool for transporting the object conveyed by the transporting tool around the vertical axis, In the conveyance device that continuously rotates the posture adjustment tool for changing the conveyance posture of the conveyed object, and the control device that controls the operation of the conveyance tool and the posture adjustment tool, the posture reduction tool is constructed to be in a non-contact state. The supported conveyance is formed by joining the ends of the Wei in the head view. The holding portion for holding the conveyance and the rotation of the holding portion about the longitudinal axis and the reduction of the former county holding portion are possible. (4) tool for moving the direction of movement; the shape holding position is sent purely by the holding portion in a non-contact state, and the aforementioned moving tool is used to make the aforementioned In the state in which the contact state is received, the conveyance is carried out from the holding position to the holding release position on the downstream side (4) while the moving portion is moved by the moving tool, and the holding portion is held by the second Rotating to move the conveyed object to be held in the following position: Turning = and releasing the accompanying holding position, and the control tool is constructed to move the shovel of the holding portion and the movement of the moving tool. And the control of the above-mentioned rotating work. If such a configuration is used, the conveyance tool is controlled by the control worker, and the conveyed object is in a non-contact state by the air supply type branch tool [

機2及下游側輸送機3以及姿態調整組件4的作動之控制裝 置Η。 搬送裝置1以第1圖及第2圖中從上游側輸送機2朝向下 15 201144195 游側輸送機3的方向為搬送方向,沿直線狀的搬送路徑將複 數個玻璃基板W以水平姿態或大致水平的姿態從上游側依 序搬送到下游側,在直線狀搬送路徑的途中可以讓玻璃基 板W繞縱軸心X1旋轉而將玻璃基板W的搬送姿態從上游側 輸送機2中的上游側姿態調整成下游側輸送機3中的下游側 姿態。此處’大致水平的姿態係指從水平方向起有例如, 10度以下的傾斜之姿態。本實施態樣中,玻璃基板W在平 視下為矩形’往一方向(短向)延伸的边比往另一方向(長向) 延伸的边短,上游側輸送機2將玻璃基板w以其短向沿搬送 方向的姿態搬送,下游側輸送機3將玻璃基板w以其長向沿 搬送方向的姿態搬送。 由上游側輸送機2及下游側輸送機3以及姿態調整組件 4’構成了具備送風式支樓工具1〇及推進力給予工具η之搬 送工具D。另外,控制裝置η發揮作為控制搬送工具D的作 動之控制工具的功能。以下,將就上游側輸送機2及下游側 輸送機3以及姿態調整組件4做具體說明。 上游側輸送機2及下游側輸送機3各自以沿著搬送方向 排列設置於架臺5上的複數個搬送單元6的狀態進行配置, 並將相鄰的7L件彼此連接起來。上游側輸送機2的搬送單元 6a和下游側輸送機3的搬送單元处,除了左^方向(與搬送 方向垂直的方向)的長度不同以外,基本的構成相同,故以 構成上游側輸送機2的搬送單元6a為例就搬送單元6做說 明,關於構成下游側輸送機3的搬送單元扑的說明則省略。 搬送單元6&係如第3圖及第,所示,其構成是在由上 16 201144195 蓋7及支撐框8組成的殼體9上裝備送風式支撐工具10a及推 進力給予工具11 a。 搬送單元6a的送風式支撐工具1 〇a的構成具備朝玻璃 基板w的下面供給清潔空氣的複數個風機過渡機組12和, 幵J成有多數個通氣孔13a之載置支撐於風機過遽機組j2 上’對供給到玻璃基板W下面的清潔空氣進行整風之整風 板13。風機過濾機組12連結固定於支標框8上,是將去除塵 埃的除塵過濾器14和,配置於該除塵過渡器14之下,通過 除塵過渡器14朝玻璃基板W的下面供給清潔空氣之電動式 送風風扇15組裝為一體而構成。在此實施態樣,送風式支 撐工具1 〇a共計配備4個風機過滤機組12,在前後方向b比鄰 排列2個’在左右方向又間隔排列2個風機過濾機組12。另 外,於姿態調整組件4,在上游側鄰接的搬送單元6a之送風 式支撐工具10a的整風板13之下游側部分,沿搬送方向形成 有可以讓後述的導入輸送機突出到比送風式支撐工具l〇a 更上方的導入輸送機用狹長切口 13b。 搬送單元6a的推進力給予工具11 a在左右方向的兩端 部分沿搬送方向排列配置,裝設了接觸到以非接觸狀態受 到支撐之玻璃基板W的左右兩端部的下面,並對玻璃基板 W給予搬送方向的推進力之複數個驅動滾輪16和,使該等 驅動滾輪16傳動旋轉之驅動滾輪用馬達Ml(參照第9圖)。 支撐驅動滾輪16及驅動滾輪用馬達Ml的殼體9之支撐 框8具有下面配備導入外部空氣的空氣導入口 π之底板18 和’在支撐框8的左右方向兩側沿搬送方向以固定狀態安裝 17 201144195 的左右一對收納框19的構成。而且,上蓋7跨及兩側的收納 框19地安裝。左右一對的各收納框19中,内裝著具備驅動 滾輪用馬達Μ1及將§亥驅動浪輪用馬達μ 1的旋轉驅動力分 配到複數個驅動滾輪16之傳動軸2〇的傳動機構。再者,在 驅動滚輪16裝備著會接觸到玻璃基板w的左右方向的兩端 部的侧面,阻擋玻璃基板w向左右方向移動的大徑部16a。 接著,將就姿態調整組件4的構成作說明。如第丨圖、 第2圖及第5圖所示,姿態調整組件4係在由上蓋21及平視為 大致矩形狀的支撐框22所組成的殼體23裝備送風式支撐工 具10b及推進力給予工具lib而構成。 姿態調整組件4的送風式支撐工具1〇b和搬送單元6的 送風式支撐工具l〇a構成相同。亦即,如第5圖所示,具備 朝玻璃基板W的下面供給清潔空氣的複數個風機過渡機組 12和’形成有多數個通氣孔13a之載置切於風機過渡機組 12上’對供給到玻璃基板賈下面的清潔空氣進行整風之整 風板13。風機财、機組12連㈣定於切肋,是將去除 塵埃的除塵過渡器14和,配置於該除塵過渡器14之下,二 過除塵過據器14朝玻璃基㈣的下面供给清潔空氣的電動 式送風扇15組裝為一體而構成。 姿態調整組件4的送風式找工以%鱗載置支撐於 =Γ數個風機_組12’在前後方向以鄰接的 1!二Γ但是左右方向排列的個數從上游側往下游 側為2個、3個、2個,在搬送方向是 端部的2個風機過濾機組12和,排列:非列於上游側 、卜游側端部的2個風 201144195 機過渡機組12的尺寸及姿態相同,這些風機過濾機組12的 尺寸及姿態’與在搬送方向位於中間的3個風機過濾機組12 的尺寸及姿態不同。另外,在姿態調整組件4的送風式支撐 工具l〇b中之整風板13的上游側部分形成導入輸送機用狹 長切口 13c(參照第1圖),使得後述的導入輸送機29可突出 到比送風式支撐工具10b更上方。該導入輸送機用狹長切口 13c ’於姿態調整組件4,在上游側和形成於鄰接的搬送單 元6a之送風式支撐工具1〇a的整風板13之導入輸送機用狹 長切口 13b相連接。 姿悲'調整組件4具備使玻璃基板W繞縱軸心XI旋轉之 姿態调整工具24,姿態調整組件4的推進力給予工具lib兼 用於該姿態調整工具24。 如第2圖第5圖及第6圖所示,姿態調整工具24具備旋轉 #25 ’係作為對被送風式支撐工具1〇b以非接觸狀態支撐著 的玻璃基板W在平視下的複數個端部形成接合以便自如地 保持住玻璃基板w的保持部,和旋轉部26,是使旋轉臂25 繞縱軸心XI旋轉的旋轉工具,和滑動部27,是使旋轉臂25 沿搬送方向移動的移動工具。 如第5圖、第6圖及第7圖所示,旋轉臂25配置於比由送 風式支撑卫具以非接觸狀態切住的玻璃基板w的高 度更上方側,並在其兩端部裝備了—對夹固部28,作為通 過繞橫軸叫鶴而在對玻璃基_之平視下的—對端部 形成接合之接合姿態和,對該料部的接合被解除之㈣ 姿態之間自由切換姿態的複數健合作㈣。這—對夹固 201144195 部28如果形成接合姿態就會持住玻璃基板…,形成解除姿 態時則會放開玻璃基板W。再者,雖省略詳細的說明,但 在旋轉臂25的兩端部中内裝著驅動切換一對夾固部28的姿 態之夾固用馬達M2(參照第9圖)。 旋轉臂25是以對應於平視下為矩形狀的玻璃基板…之 短邊長度的長尺狀中空元件構成’以設於兩端的一對夾固 部28分別接合到玻璃基板W長邊的左右方向中之大致中央 部分的方式將玻璃基板W持住。一對夾固部28各自具備排 列於橫軸心Y1方向的2個抵接片28a . 28b,通過2個抵接片 28a · 28b在2個地方對玻璃基板w長邊的大致中央部分形成 抵接,一對夾具部28即為接合姿態,相對於旋轉臂25之玻 璃基板W的相對旋轉就會受到限制。再者,在一對夾固部 28之抵接片28a · 28b的抵接面上設置聚胺酯橡膠等之彈性 部件’玻璃基板W和一對夾固部28就可以形成彈性接觸。 旋轉部26具備驅動旋轉臂25在一個方向和其反方向轉 動的旋轉用馬達M3(參照第9圖),以及作為藉檢測旋轉用馬 達M3的旋轉驅動量來檢測旋轉臂2 5的旋轉位置之旋轉位 置檢測工具的旋轉位置檢測用旋轉編碼器RE1(參照第9 圖)。 滑動部27,具備在複數個地方被支撐框22所配備的前 後一對支撐邊框22a支撐著的狀態下,沿搬送方向設置的導 軌27a和,設置成受該導軌27a引導,在使玻璃基^位於保

的構造。例如’可將滑動塊27b固定在對被移動用馬達M4 轉動的螺軸形成螺合的部件上。另一例可以是,將移動用 馬達M4直接或經齒輪間接連接到配置於導軌27a—端區域 的一個滑輪的軸心,在導軌27a的另一端區域則配置可自由 轉動的滑輪’並將無端皮帶繞在這2個滑輪之間,並將滑動 塊27b固定於該無端皮帶的一個地方。另外,在導執27a的 前後兩端部設有檢測後退極限位置的滑動塊271^之保持位 置檢測用感測器S3(參照第9圖),及,檢測前進極限位置的 滑動塊27b之保持解除位置檢測用感測器S4(參照第9圖)。 在保持位置P3,由控制裝置H將旋轉臂25的一對夾固部 28從解除姿態變更成保持姿態,藉以使旋轉臂25保持住破 璃基板W。另外,在保持解除位置p4,由控制裝置η將旋轉 臂25的-對炎@]部Μ從料姿態較成解除姿態,藉以使 旋轉臂25放開玻璃基板W。亦即,控制裝置Η被設定成在保 持位置Ρ3及保持解除位置Ρ4控制一對夾固部28的姿態切換 作動。 姿通调整工具24,在將一對夾固部28切換到對玻璃基 板W形成接合的接合絲的狀態下,—邊湘旋轉部%使 旋轉臂25繞縱軸心X1旋轉,—邊利用滑動部27使旋轉⑽ 著搬送方向的導轨27a移動,藉以在由送風式支撐工具 21 201144195 l〇b支撐玻璃基板W的狀態下’邊使玻璃基板w繞縱軸*X1 旋轉,邊對玻璃基板W給予搬送方向的推進力以進行搬送 方向的搬送。 像這樣’姿態調整組件4,具備兼用推進力給予工具n b 的姿態調整工具24,除玻璃基板W的姿態調整功能,還有 對玻璃基板W發生接觸並給予往搬送方向的推進力之功 能。由姿態調整組件4造成之成為搬送方向的旋轉臂25的旋 轉縱軸心XI的移動方向,與上游側輸送機丨及下游側輸送機 2的搬送方向一致。 搬送裝置1中,如第1圖、第4圖、第5圖及第丨丨圖所示, 設有導入輸送機29,是沿搬送方向邊維持玻璃基板…的搬 送姿態邊將玻璃基板W從設定在比保持位置p3更上游側的 導入位置P2搬送到保持位置P3為止之導入搬送工具。姿態 調整組件4上設有阻擋由導入輸送機29搬送來的玻璃基板 W之搬送下游側的端部之左右一對止動件4〇。 如第1圖所示,姿態調整組件4在搬送方向的中間位 置,沿左右方向排列的3個風機過遽機組12之間形成2個間 隙’一對止動件40在每一個間隙内各配置丨個。一對止動件 40被配置成,通過使止動件昇降用馬達M9(參照第9圖)在一 個方向和其反方向旋轉作動,可以自由地切換到抵接被導 入輸送機29搬送到保持位置P3為止的玻璃基板w之搬送下 游側端邊的2個地方,邊將玻璃基板…維持在上游側姿態邊 限制玻璃基板W往搬送方向下游側的移動之上昇位置和, 容許玻璃基板W往搬送方向下游側移動的下降位置。 22 201144195 另外’搬送裝置1中,如第1圖所示,設有導出輸送機 30作為將玻璃基板w沿搬送方向,邊維持玻璃基板W的搬 送姿態,邊從保持解除位置P4搬送到設定在比該保持解除 位置P4更下游側的導出位置p5為止之導出搬送工具。因為 導入輸送機29及導出輸送機3〇雖然配置位置不同但基本構 成相同’故以導入輸送機29為例做具體說明。 導入輸送機29,如第1圖、第4圖、第5圖及第8圖所示, 具備對上游側姿態(導出輸送機3 0的情形是下游側姿態)的 玻璃基板W之左右方向的中央部形成接觸支撐之導入側帶 式推進力給予部31。該導入側帶式推進力給予部31如第4圖 及第5圖所示’設在因左右方向地排列2個風機過濾機組12 而在左右方向的中間位置形成之沿前後方向的細長間隙 G中。 導入側帶式推進力給予工具31,如第8圖所示,由位在 搬送方向的上游側受導入輸送機驅動用馬達]^5驅動而旋 轉之驅動輪32和,位在搬送方向的上游側之可自由旋轉的 從動輪33和,跨繞在該等驅動輪32和從動輪33,接觸支撐 著玻璃基板w的下面並給予推進力之正時皮帶34和,從内 周面側支撐正時皮帶34中之輸送路徑部分的内支撐輪35 和,支撐這些構件之支撐框36構成。而且,如第8圖所示, 支撐框3 6中設有前後一對用於執行導入側帶式推進力給予

Similarly, in the "control device", the lead-out conveyor driving motor 7 and the pair of lead-out conveyor lifting motors are connected to each other. The control device Η controls the holding operation of the rotating arm 25, the movement of the sliding portion 27, and the rotating operation of the rotating portion 26, so that the glass base (four) in the state of being in the non-contact state by the rotating arm is held by the rotating arm. In the position Ρ3, the glass substrate W in the state in which the rotating arm 25 is moved by the sliding portion 27 and the branch is received in the non-contact state 25 201144195 is transported from the holding position p3 to the holding-release position P4 on the downstream side in the transport direction. By the sliding portion 27, the rotating arm 25 is moved, and the if/village% rotates the rotating buckle, and the conveyance posture of the held glass substrate W is rotated by 9 degrees around the vertical axis X1, and the glass substrate is released at the holding release position P4. W's stay. In order to move the rotating arm 25 in the holding state in which the glass substrate w is held from the holding position P3 to the holding release position 4, the rotating arm 25 in the non-holding state of the unpolished glass substrate w is moved back to the holding position p3. The control device 反复 repeatedly controls the holding operation of the rotation f25, the sliding movement, and the rotation of the rotating portion 26. The control device Η controls the rotation of the rotating portion 26 and the sliding portion 27 to rotate in the holding state. The rotation of the arm 25 and the movement of the rotary buckle in the holding state from the holding position Ρ3 are started simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, and at the same time, the movement of the positional arm ρ4 is released from the holding position 1 > 3 to the (four) in the holding state. In the period from the start to the end of the rotation of the rotation state f 25 to the holding position ρ3, the subsequent glass substrate is conveyed to the holding position P3, and the operation of the introduction conveyor 29 is controlled. The control device Η controls the operations of the rotating portion 26 and the sliding portion 27 so that the rotation of the rotating arm 25 in the holding state and the movement of the rotating arm 25 to the holding release position Ρ4 in the holding state are simultaneously or substantially simultaneously at the same time, and at the same time, In the case where the rotating arm 25 is held in the holding position of the releasing position £p4, the rotating arm 25 is moved to the holding release position (10), and the rotating arm 25 is held in the holding state in which the subsequent glass plate w is held. When the glass substrate w that has been released by the rotating arm 25 is moved from the holding release position P4, the operation of the lead-out conveyance 26 201144195 machine 30 is controlled. Here, the term generally means that the time difference is, for example, within 1 second. More desirably, the time difference is within 〇 5 seconds. The control operation of the control device 将 will be described based on the flowchart of the first drawing and the operation diagrams of Figs. 11 and 12. The flow chart of the first drawing shows that the glass substrate w that has been transported to the preparation position P1 by the upstream side transfer machine 2 is adjusted while being transported in the transport direction from the preparation position P1 to the completion position!> The operation of the upstream conveyor 2, the downstream conveyor 3' attitude adjustment unit 4, the introduction conveyor 29, and the delivery conveyor 3〇 occurring during the posture. Further, among the step groups shown in the third row and the third row of FIG. 10, the steps in the left column indicate the operations of the upstream conveyor 2, the downstream conveyor 3, the introduction conveyor 29, and the delivery conveyor 3, and the center. The step group of the column indicates the operation of the posture adjusting tool 24, and the step group in the right column indicates the action of the stopper 4〇. First, in steps #1 to #4, if the preparation position is used in the library sensor S1, it is detected that the glass substrate W has been transported to the preparation position. 1. Will the transport unit 6a, which is the most downstream of the upstream side conveyor 2, be in the ready position? The glass substrate W of 1 is transported to the introduction position P2 in the upstream direction (see Fig. (a)). In the step #2, the introduction conveyor 29 that has been in the lowered position starts to rise, and in step #3, the introduction conveyor 29 starts the conveyance operation. Thereby, it is conveyed to the introduction position by the upstream conveyor 2? The glass substrate w of 2 can be directly conveyed by the introduction conveyor 29 to the holding position P3. Further, the transfer operation may be started before the transfer conveyor 29 is switched to the raised position. The glass substrate 搬 conveyed to the holding position P3 is guided by the roller 16 disposed at the downstream end of the upstream conveyor 2 at the left and right end portions of the upstream side portion 27 201144195. Since the center of the machine is applied in the direction of the conveyance direction in the direction of the center in the left and right directions, the vehicle is transported to the holding position P3H, and the money is conveyed in the state of the side. In addition, two places on the downstream side of the glass substrate W are blocked by the pair of left and right stoppers 4 provided in the posture isolating unit 4, so that the glass substrate W is positioned at the holding position P3 (refer to the figure) Made)). After the transport operation of the introduction conveyor 29 is stopped in step & the transfer conveyor 29 is switched to the lowering position in step #6, and the clamp portion 28 is removed from the money to the joint in step #7, in step __ _ The stopper 4 is switched to the lowered position. At step #9, the posture change of the glass substrate w and the movement in the transport direction by the posture adjusting tool 24 are started. That is, the rotation of the rotary arm 25 about the longitudinal direction XI (rightward direction) and the movement to the downstream side in the transport direction start simultaneously. Thereby, the nip portion 2 is joined to the opposite long sides, and the glass substrate which is rotated by the rotation 125 is rotated about the longitudinal axis X丨, and the side is swayed from the side. 4 is further moved to the holding release position P4 in the transport direction in the downstream side posture (see Fig. 11(c)). Does the glass substrate W approach or reach the release position? 4. The export conveyor 30 will be replaced from the lowered position rib to the ascending position during the step, and the conveyor 3G will be ready. Then, at step _u, the posture change of the glass substrate w moved by the posture adjusting tool 24 and the movement in the transport direction are ended. That is, the rotation of the rotating arm 25 about the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal axis (rightward) and the movement to the downstream side of the transporting direction are simultaneously completed at the same time. Here, roughly the same as 28 201144195 means that the time difference is within, for example, a leap second, and more suitably means that the time difference is 0. Within 5 seconds. The rotation position detecting rotary encoder RE1, the holding position detecting sensor S3, and the holding release position detecting sensor for detecting the rotational position of the rotating arm 25 are based on the rotation control of the rotating arm 25 and the stop control of the movement operation. The detection information of S4 is feedback control. In this manner, the rotational actuation and the movement of the rotary arm 25 are simultaneously or substantially simultaneously activated, simultaneously or substantially simultaneously. That is, the rotational speed and the moving speed of the rotating arm 25 are formed, and the time required for the rotating portion 26 to rotate the rotating arm 25 by 90 degrees and the sliding portion 27 to move the rotating arm 25 from the holding position p3 to the holding release position P4 The time required is almost the same. Here, it is said that substantially simultaneous, almost identical means that the time difference is within, for example, a leap second, and more suitably means that the time difference is 0. Within 5 seconds. When the rotation operation and the movement of the swing arm 25 are stopped, the nip portion is switched from the engagement posture to the release posture in step #12, and the glass substrate w is released at the holding release position P4. However, it is located at step #13. When the conveyance operation of the lead-out conveyor 30 is started, the glass substrate w is conveyed to the lead-out position p5 from the hold release position P4 while maintaining the downstream posture. (FIG. 12(d)). The glass substrate W conveyed to the holding release position p4 is immediately conveyed by the take-up conveyor 30 toward the lead-out position p5. Further, the transfer operation may be started before the transfer conveyor 30 is switched to the raised position. When the transfer destination glass substrate W is transported from the holding release position material to the 29 201144195 derivation position P5, the conveyance glass is held until the release position P4 is held.
