若將基於設定於托盤載台6、7側之基準點之座標系設為第1座標系,將基於設定於機器人9側之基準點之座標系(機器人座標系)設為第2座標系,則第1座標系與第2座標系藉由將托盤載台6、7側之特定部位教示於面板固持部29而預先建立對應。該機器人9之教示作業例如於搬送系統1啟動時進行。又,包含於面板位置資訊之托盤3內之各液晶面板2之X座標、Y座標、及包含於資料位置資訊之編碼2a之X座標、Y座標係使用第1座標系顯示之座標。另,於本形態中,個別地設定托盤載台6側之第1座標系與托盤載台7側之第1座標系,並將托盤載台6側之第1座標系與第2座標系預先建立對應,且將托盤載台7側之第1座標系與第2座標系預先建立對應。 又,若將面板固持部29固持收納於托盤載台6、7上之托盤3之液晶面板2之位置設為面板固持部29之目標到達位置,將使用第1座標系顯示之面板固持部29之目標到達位置之座標設為第1座標,將使用第2座標系顯示之面板固持部29之目標到達位置之座標設為第2座標,則於面板固持部29動作時,基於包含於製程配方之資訊,將第1座標輸入於控制機器人9之控制部45(參照圖4)。控制部45將輸入之第1座標轉換為第2座標,並基於第2座標使面板固持部29移動至面板固持部29之目標到達位置。移動至目標到達位置之面板固持部29固持液晶面板2並搬送至面板載台38。 (本形態之主要效果) 如以上說明般,於本形態中,搬送系統1基於根據液晶面板2之種類設定之製程配方進行液晶面板2之搬送,於製程配方包含有面板位置資訊與面板尺寸資訊。包含於面板位置資訊之托盤3內之各液晶面板2之X座標及Y座標係使用第1座標系顯示之座標,但於本形態中,藉由將托盤載台6、7側之特定部位教示於面板固持部29而將第1座標系與第2座標系預先建立對應,且於面板固持部29動作時,控制部45將基於包含於製程配方之資訊輸入之第1座標轉換為第2座標,並基於第2座標使面板固持部29移動至面板固持部29之目標到達位置。 因此,於本形態中,若進行用以進行第1座標系與第2座標系之對應的機器人9之教示作業,則即便隨後存在變更以搬送系統1搬送之液晶面板2之種類之產線切換而面板固持部29之托盤3內之液晶面板2之固持位置變化時不進行機器人9之教示作業,亦可基於包含於製程配方之面板位置資訊與面板尺寸資訊使面板固持部29適當地固持並搬出收納於托盤3之液晶面板2。即,於本形態中,可不需要以搬送系統1搬送之液晶面板2之種類變化時之機器人9之教示作業。因此,於本形態中,可縮短以搬送系統1搬送之液晶面板2之種類變化時之產線切換的時間。 又,於本形態中,由於製程配方包含有資料位置資訊,故即便面板固持部29之托盤3內之液晶面板2之固持位置根據資料之記錄位置變化、或固持托盤3內之液晶面板2時之機器人9之姿勢根據資料之記錄位置變化,亦可不於產線切換時進行機器人9之教示作業,而基於包含於製程配方之資料位置資訊使面板固持部29固持並搬出收納於托盤3之液晶面板2。 (其他實施形態) 上述形態係本發明之較佳形態之一例,但並非限定於此,於不變更本發明主旨之範圍內可實施各種變化。 於上述形態中,機器人9組入於搬送供給至處理裝置15之液晶面板2之搬送系統1,但機器人9亦可組入於搬送自處理裝置15排出之液晶面板2之搬送系統。於該情形時,機器人9進行向載置於托盤載台6、7之托盤3之液晶面板2之搬入。又,於該情形時,為了將面板固持部29所固持之液晶面板2收納於托盤載台6、7上之托盤3,面板固持部29放開液晶面板2之位置成為面板固持部29之目標到達位置。 於該情形時,亦可於存在產線切換而面板固持部29之托盤3內之液晶面板2之固持放開位置變化時不進行機器人9之教示作業,而基於製程配方使由面板固持部29固持並搬入之液晶面板2於托盤3內之適當位置放開而將其收納於托盤3內之適當位置。即,可不需要以搬送系統1搬送之液晶面板2之種類變化時之機器人9之教示作業,其結果,可縮短以搬送系統1搬送之液晶面板2之種類變化時之產線切換的時間。 又,機器人9亦可組入於搬送供給至處理裝置15之液晶面板2且搬送自處理裝置15排出之液晶面板2之搬送系統。於該情形時,機器人9進行自載置於托盤載台6、7之托盤3之液晶面板2之搬出、及向載置於托盤載台6、7之托盤3之液晶面板2之搬入。又,於該情形時,面板固持部29固持收納於托盤載台6、7上之托盤3之液晶面板2之位置、或為了將面板固持部29所固持之液晶面板2收納於托盤載台6、7上之托盤3而面板固持部29放開液晶面板2之位置成為面板固持部29之目標到達位置。 於上述形態中,於製程配方包含有托盤尺寸資訊,但由於托盤3之大小無關收納於托盤3之液晶面板2之種類而為固定,故托盤尺寸資訊亦可不包含於製程配方。於該情形時,亦可基於包含於製程配方之面板位置資訊與面板尺寸資訊使面板固持部29適當地固持並搬出收納於托盤3之液晶面板2。又,於該情形時,可簡化製程配方。 於上述形態中,於製程配方包含有資料位置資訊,但若面板固持部29之托盤3內之液晶面板2之固持位置未根據資料之記錄位置變化、或固持托盤3內之液晶面板2時之機器人9之姿勢未根據資料之記錄位置變化,則資料位置資訊亦可不包含於製程配方。又,於上述形態中,托盤3之大小無關收納於托盤3之液晶面板2之種類而為固定,但托盤3之大小亦可根據收納於托盤3之液晶面板2之種類而變化。於該情形時,為了能使面板固持部29適當地固持並搬出收納於托盤3之液晶面板2,可將載置於托盤載台6、7之托盤3之位置之資訊即托盤位置資訊包含於製程配方。 於上述形態中,於托盤載台6、7載置有1個托盤3,但亦可將複數個托盤3以相互不重疊之方式載置於托盤載台6、7。又,於上述形態中,機器人9係並聯機器人,但機器人9亦可為水平多關節機器人。又,於上述形態中,以搬送系統1搬送之顯示面板係液晶面板2,但以搬送系統1搬送之顯示面板亦可為液晶面板2以外之顯示面板。例如,以搬送系統1搬送之顯示面板亦可為有機EL(Electro Luminescence:電致發光)面板。Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The conveying system 1 of this form is integrated and used in the manufacturing line of liquid crystal displays used in portable machines and the like. This conveyance system 1 conveys the liquid crystal panel 2 which is a display panel, and supplies the liquid crystal panel 2 to the processing apparatus 15 which performs a specific process on the liquid crystal panel 2 (refer FIG. 2). That is, the transport system 1 transports the liquid crystal panel 2 supplied to the processing device 15. The conveying system 1 can realize the conveying of a plurality of liquid crystal panels 2. For example, the transportation system 1 can realize the transportation of a plurality of small or medium-sized liquid crystal panels 2 in the range of 4 to 15 inches. The conveying system 1 is provided with two conveyors 4 and 5 for conveying a tray 3 capable of accommodating the liquid crystal panel 2. The conveyors 4 and 5 linearly convey the stacked trays 3 (ie, the stacked trays 3) in the horizontal direction. For example, the conveyors 4 and 5 linearly convey the tray 3 stacked in 20 layers in the horizontal direction. In addition, the conveying system 1 is provided with: two tray stages 6, 7 for placing the tray 3; a robot 8 for conveying the pallet 3 between the conveyors 4, 5 and the tray stage 6, 7; and a robot 9, which The liquid crystal panel 2 is carried out from the tray 3 placed on the tray stages 6 and 7; and the supply unit 10 that receives the liquid crystal panel 2 from the robot 9 and supplies it to the processing device 15. In the following description, the direction of the conveying tray 3 of the conveyors 4 and 5 (the X direction in Fig. 1 etc.) is set as the "front and rear direction", and the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction (vertical direction) and the front and rear direction (Fig. 1st grade Y direction) is set to "left and right direction". Also, let one side of the front-rear direction (X1 direction side in Fig. 1 etc.) be the "front" side, and set the opposite side (X2 direction side in Fig. 1, etc.) to the "rear (rear) side", and set the left and right direction One side (the side in the Y1 direction in Fig. 2 etc.) is referred to as the "right" side, and the opposite side (the side in the Y2 direction in Fig. 2 etc.) is referred to as the "left" side. In this aspect, the processing device 15 is arranged on the rear side of the conveying system 1. In addition, the tray stages 6 and 7 are arranged on the rear side of the conveyors 4 and 5, and the supply unit 10 is arranged on the rear side of the tray stages 6 and 7. In addition, the conveying system 1 includes a main body frame 11 provided with conveyors 4 and 5, tray stages 6, 7, a robot 8 and a supply unit 10, and a main body frame 12 provided with a robot 9. The upper surface of the main body frame 11 is formed in a plane shape orthogonal to the vertical direction, and the upper surface of the main body frame 11 is provided with conveyors 4, 5, tray stages 6, 7, robot 8 and supply unit 10. The main body frame 12 is a gate-shaped frame formed into a substantially gate-shaped frame, and is provided so as to straddle the rear end portion of the main body frame 11 in the left-right direction. The robot 9 is installed on the upper surface of the main body frame 12. The liquid crystal panel 2 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape. The tray 3 is also formed in a rectangular flat plate shape. In the tray 3, the liquid crystal panel 2 can be stored, and a storage recess for storing the liquid crystal panel 2 is formed on the upper surface of the tray 3. The size of the tray 3 is fixed regardless of the size of the liquid crystal panel 2 stored in the tray 3. The number of liquid crystal panels 2 stored in the tray 3 varies according to the type of liquid crystal panel 2. For example, according to the size of the liquid crystal panel 2 in the tray 3, two liquid crystal panels 2 are stored as shown in FIG. 3(A), or four liquid crystal panels 2 are stored as shown in FIG. 3(B), or as shown in FIG. 3( As shown in C), 8 liquid crystal panels 2 are housed. Therefore, the storage position of the liquid crystal panel 2 stored in the tray 3 changes according to the type of the liquid crystal panel 2. In addition, in FIG. 2, the illustration of the liquid crystal panel 2 stored in the tray 3 is omitted. In the part of the liquid crystal panel 2 beyond the display area, data such as inspection data of the liquid crystal panel 2 are recorded. Specifically, at a portion of the liquid crystal panel 2 beyond the display area, data such as inspection data are recorded as a code 2a such as a two-dimensional code or a one-dimensional code (refer to FIG. 3(A)). That is, in the portion of the liquid crystal panel 2 beyond the display area, data that can be optically read is recorded. The recording position of the data of the liquid crystal panel 2 (ie, the position of the code 2a) will vary according to the type of the liquid crystal panel 2. For example, the position of the code 2a is located at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3(A) or at the position shown by the broken line in FIG. 3(A) according to the type of the liquid crystal panel 2. In addition, the illustration of the code 2a is omitted in FIGS. 3(B) and (C). The conveyors 4 and 5 are roller conveyors equipped with a plurality of rollers. The conveyor 4 and the conveyor 5 are arranged adjacent to each other in the left-right direction. The conveyor 4 transports the stacked pallets 3 to the rear side, and the conveyor 5 transports the stacked pallets 3 to the front side. The liquid crystal panel 2 is stored in the tray 3 conveyed by the conveyor 4. On the other hand, the tray 3 conveyed by the conveyor 5 does not contain the liquid crystal panel 2, so the tray 3 conveyed by the conveyor 5 is an empty tray. In addition, the conveyors 4 and 5 may also be belt conveyors and the like. On the front end side of the conveyor 4, the pallet 3 in a stacked state transported by the operator from a shelf (not shown) for temporary placement is placed. The stacked tray 3 placed on the front end of the conveyor 4 is transported to the rear, and the stacked tray 3 transported to the rear of the conveyor 4 is unstacked by the robot 8 as described later. In addition, on the rear end side of the conveyor 5, the empty pallets 3 are stacked by the robot 8 as described later. If the tray 3 is stacked to a specific number of layers, the tray 3 in the stacked state is transported to the front side. The stacked pallets 3 conveyed to the front end of the conveyor 5 are conveyed by the operator to a shelf for empty pallets. One tray 3 is placed on the tray stages 6 and 7. The tray stages 6 and 7 are fixed to the main body frame 11. The tray stage 6 and the tray stage 7 are arranged with a certain interval in the left-right direction.

The tray holding portion 24 is installed at the lower end of the movable frame 23. The tray holding part 24 is provided with a plurality of suction parts for sucking the tray 3. When the robot 8 transports the tray 3, the suction part contacts the upper surface of the tray 3 and vacuum suctions the tray 3. The robot 8 transports the pallets 3 from the conveyor 4 to the pallet stages 6 and 7 and conveys the pallets 3 from the pallet stages 6 and 7 to the conveyor 5. Specifically, the robot 8 transports the stacked pallets 3 on the rear end side of the conveyor 4 to the pallet stage 6 or the pallet stage 7 one by one, and unstacks the stacked pallets 3 on the conveyor 4. In addition, the robot 8 transports the empty tray 3 from the tray stage 6 or the tray stage 7 to the rear end side of the conveyor 5, and stacks the tray 3 on the conveyor 5. The robot 9 is a so-called parallel robot. The robot 9 includes: a main body 25; three links 26 connected to the main body 25; three arm parts 27 connected to each of the three links 26; and a head unit 28 connected to three Arm 27; and panel holding portion 29, which is mounted on the head unit 28.

In addition, the main body portion 25 is arranged above the tray stages 6 and 7 and is arranged on the rear side of the main body frame 20 of the robot 8. The three links 26 are connected to the main body portion 25 so as to extend substantially radially at substantially equal angular intervals to the outer peripheral side of the main body portion 25. That is, the three links 26 are connected to the main body portion 25 so as to extend substantially radially at a pitch of approximately 120° to the outer peripheral side of the main body portion 25. In addition, the base ends of the three links 26 are rotatably connected to the main body 25. A motor 30 with a speed reducer for rotating the connecting rod 26 is arranged at the connection part between the main body part 25 and the connecting rod 26. The robot 9 of this form includes three motors 30 that rotate each of the three links 26. The output shaft of the motor 30 is fixed to the base end side of the connecting rod 26. The base end side of the arm 27 is rotatably connected to the distal end side of the link 26. Specifically, the arm portion 27 includes two linear arms 32 parallel to each other, and the base end side of each of the two arms 32 is rotatably connected to the distal end side of the link 26. The head unit 28 is rotatably connected to the end sides of the three arm parts 27. That is, the head unit 28 is rotatably connected to the end side of the six arms 32. In the robot 9, by individually driving the three motors 30, the head unit 28 can be moved to any position in the up-down direction, the left-right direction and the front-rear direction in a specific area, and the head unit 28 can maintain a certain posture. (Specifically, it moves in a state where the panel holding portion 29 is kept facing the lower side). The panel holding portion 29 is installed at the lower end of the head unit 28. The panel holding portion 29 includes a plurality of suction portions for vacuum suction of the liquid crystal panel 2, and the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 2 is sucked by the suction portion to hold the liquid crystal panel 2. In addition, a motor 33 is attached to the upper end of the head unit 28. The panel holding portion 29 is connected to the motor 33, and can be rotated in an axial direction in the upper and lower directions by the power of the motor 33. The robot 9 carries out the liquid crystal panel 2 piece by piece from the tray 3 placed on the tray stage 6 or the tray 3 placed on the tray stage 7. Specifically, the robot 9 carries out the liquid crystal panels 2 from the tray 3 one by one until the tray 3 placed on the tray stages 6 and 7 becomes empty. Moreover, the robot 9 conveys the liquid crystal panel 2 carried out from the tray 3 to the panel stage 38 mentioned later. The supply unit 10 includes a data reading device 36 that reads data recorded on the liquid crystal panel 2. The data reading device 36 includes a camera for reading the code 2a. In addition, the supply unit 10 is provided with an alignment device 37 that aligns the liquid crystal panel 2 before reading the data of the liquid crystal panel 2 by the data reading device 36. The alignment device 37 includes a panel stage 38 on which the liquid crystal panel 2 is placed. On the panel stage 38, the liquid crystal panel 2 carried out by the robot 9 from the tray 3 on the tray stages 6 and 7 is mounted. In addition, the supply unit 10 includes a robot 39 that transports the liquid crystal panel 2 after reading the data by the data reading device 36 to the processing device 15; and an ionizer (static electricity removal device) 40 that transports the liquid crystal from the processing device 15 The panel 2 removes static electricity; the transport device 41, which transports the liquid crystal panel 2 aligned by the alignment device 37 to the robot 39; and the robot 42, which transports the liquid crystal panel 2 aligned by the alignment device 37 to the transport device 41 . In the supply unit 10, when the liquid crystal panel 2 is aligned by the alignment device 37, the robot 42 conveys the liquid crystal panel 2 to the conveying device 41. The conveying device 41 conveys the liquid crystal panel 2 to the robot 39. In addition, when the conveying device 41 conveys the liquid crystal panel 2 to the robot 39, it stops once in order to read the data of the liquid crystal panel 2 by the data reading device 36. The ionizer 40 is disposed above the conveying device 41 and removes static electricity of the liquid crystal panel 2 conveyed by the conveying device 41. The transport system 1 configured as above is connected to a relay computer (CIM-PC: Computer Integrated Manufacturing-Personal Computer) via a network, and the relay computer is connected to a host computer via the network. In addition, the transport system 1 transports the liquid crystal panel 2 based on the process recipe set according to the type of the liquid crystal panel 2. The process recipe includes information on the storage position of the liquid crystal panel 2 in the tray 3, namely panel position information, information on the size of the liquid crystal panel 2, namely panel size information, and the recording position of the data on the liquid crystal panel 2 (i.e. the position of code 2a) The information is the data location information. The panel position information includes the horizontal coordinates (X-coordinate and Y-coordinate) of each liquid crystal panel 2 stored in the tray 3. The panel size information includes the size in the long-side direction, the size in the short-side direction, and the thickness of the liquid crystal panel 2. The data location information includes the horizontal coordinate (X coordinate and Y coordinate) of code 2a. In addition, the process recipe includes information about the size of the tray 3, that is, tray size information. In addition, a plurality of transport systems 1 are connected to the host computer, and when the panel position information, panel size information, and data position information included in the process recipe are corrected, the correction results of the information are reflected to the plurality of transport systems 1. (Robot control method) If the coordinate system based on the reference point set on the side of the pallet stage 6 and 7 is set as the first coordinate system, set the coordinate system (robot coordinate system) based on the reference point set on the side of the robot 9 If it is the second coordinate system, the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system are pre-established correspondence by teaching specific parts on the tray carrier 6 and 7 sides to the panel holding portion 29. The teaching operation of the robot 9 is performed, for example, when the conveying system 1 is activated. In addition, the X coordinate and Y coordinate of each liquid crystal panel 2 included in the tray 3 of the panel position information, and the X coordinate and Y coordinate of the code 2a included in the data position information are the coordinates displayed using the first coordinate system. In addition, in this form, the first coordinate system on the tray carrier 6 side and the first coordinate system on the tray carrier 7 side are individually set, and the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system on the tray carrier 6 side are preset Correspondence is established, and the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system on the side of the tray stage 7 are previously corresponded. In addition, if the position where the panel holding portion 29 holds the liquid crystal panel 2 of the tray 3 stored on the tray stages 6 and 7 is set as the target reaching position of the panel holding portion 29, the panel holding portion 29 of the first coordinate system display will be used. The coordinates of the target arrival position are set to the first coordinate, and the coordinates of the target arrival position of the panel holding portion 29 displayed using the second coordinate system are set to the second coordinate. When the panel holding portion 29 operates, it is based on the recipe included in the process The first coordinate is input to the control unit 45 of the control robot 9 (refer to FIG. 4). The control unit 45 converts the input first coordinates into second coordinates, and moves the panel holding portion 29 to the target arrival position of the panel holding portion 29 based on the second coordinates. The panel holding part 29 moved to the target arrival position holds the liquid crystal panel 2 and transports it to the panel stage 38. (Main effect of this form) As explained above, in this form, the conveying system 1 conveys the liquid crystal panel 2 based on the process recipe set according to the type of the liquid crystal panel 2. The process recipe includes panel position information and panel size information . The X and Y coordinates of each liquid crystal panel 2 contained in the tray 3 of the panel position information are the coordinates displayed using the first coordinate system, but in this form, by teaching the specific parts on the side of the tray 6 and 7 The first coordinate system and the second coordinate system are pre-established in the panel holding portion 29, and when the panel holding portion 29 operates, the control portion 45 converts the first coordinate input based on the information contained in the process recipe into the second coordinate , And move the panel holding portion 29 to the target reaching position of the panel holding portion 29 based on the second coordinate. Therefore, in this form, if the teaching operation for the robot 9 corresponding to the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system is performed, even if there is subsequently a change in the production line of the type of liquid crystal panel 2 transported by the transport system 1 When the holding position of the liquid crystal panel 2 in the tray 3 of the panel holding part 29 changes, the robot 9 will not be taught. The panel holding part 29 can also be properly held and held based on the panel position information and the panel size information included in the process recipe. The liquid crystal panel 2 stored in the tray 3 is taken out. That is, in this embodiment, the teaching operation of the robot 9 when the type of the liquid crystal panel 2 transported by the transport system 1 changes is not required. Therefore, in this embodiment, the time for production line switching when the type of the liquid crystal panel 2 transported by the transport system 1 is changed can be shortened. Moreover, in this form, since the process recipe contains data location information, even if the holding position of the liquid crystal panel 2 in the tray 3 of the panel holding portion 29 changes according to the recording position of the data, or when the liquid crystal panel 2 in the tray 3 is held The posture of the robot 9 changes according to the recorded position of the data. It is also possible not to perform the teaching operation of the robot 9 when the production line is switched. Based on the position information of the data contained in the process recipe, the panel holding portion 29 is fixed and moved out of the liquid crystal stored in the tray 3 Panel 2. (Other Embodiments) The above-mentioned embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but it is not limited to this, and various changes can be implemented without changing the gist of the present invention. In the above aspect, the robot 9 is incorporated in the transport system 1 that transports the liquid crystal panel 2 supplied to the processing device 15, but the robot 9 may also be incorporated in the transport system that transports the liquid crystal panel 2 discharged from the processing device 15. In this case, the robot 9 carries in the liquid crystal panel 2 on the tray 3 placed on the tray stages 6 and 7. Also, in this case, in order to store the liquid crystal panel 2 held by the panel holding portion 29 in the tray 3 on the tray stages 6, 7, the position where the panel holding portion 29 releases the liquid crystal panel 2 becomes the target of the panel holding portion 29 Arrived at the location. In this case, when there is a production line switch and the holding and releasing position of the liquid crystal panel 2 in the tray 3 of the panel holding portion 29 changes, the robot 9 may not be taught by the panel holding portion 29 based on the process recipe. The liquid crystal panel 2 that is held and carried in is released at a proper position in the tray 3 and stored in a proper position in the tray 3. That is, the teaching operation of the robot 9 when the type of the liquid crystal panel 2 transported by the transport system 1 changes is unnecessary. As a result, the time for the production line switching when the type of the liquid crystal panel 2 transported by the transport system 1 changes can be shortened. In addition, the robot 9 may also be incorporated in a conveying system that conveys the liquid crystal panel 2 supplied to the processing device 15 and conveys the liquid crystal panel 2 discharged from the processing device 15. In this case, the robot 9 carries out the unloading of the liquid crystal panel 2 from the tray 3 placed on the tray stages 6 and 7 and the transfer to the liquid crystal panel 2 of the tray 3 placed on the tray stages 6 and 7.
