Description
移載システム1は、板状部材、本実施形態ではガラス板2を所定の位置に移載するための装置である。ガラス板2は、平面視で大略矩形状になっており、上下方向に積層されている(図6及び7参照)。各ガラス板2の上には、合紙3が載置されている(図7参照)。合紙3は、平面視で大略矩形状になっており、ガラス板2の外形よりも大きく形成されている。そのため、合紙3の外縁部は、ガラス板2から外側へとはみ出しており、下側へと垂れ下がっている。このように載置されている合紙3は、上下に隣接する2つのガラス板2の間に介在し、これら2つのガラス板2が擦れあって傷つくことを防いでいる。移載システム1は、このように上面に合紙3が載せられているガラス板2をその状態のまま吸着保持して所定の位置、具体的にはコンベア4まで移載するようになっている。移載システム1は、ロボット11と、吸着ユニット12と、把持装置13と、吹付け装置14、クランプ装置15と、合紙置き具16と、制御装置17とを備えている。
ロボット11は、図2に示すような6軸ロボットである。なお、本実施形態では、6軸のロボットを採用しているが、水平3軸や垂直3軸等の他の多関節ロボット等であってもよい。ロボット11は、床等に固定される基台21を備えている。基台21には、第1アーム22が設けられており、第1アーム22は、基台21に対して垂直軸であるR軸回りに旋回可能に構成されている。第1アーム22の上部には、第2アーム23の下端が設けられており、第2アーム23は、第1アーム22に対して水平軸であるL軸回りに回動可能に構成されている。第2アーム23の上端部には、第3アーム24の基端部が設けられており、第3アーム24は、第2アーム23に対して前記L軸に平行なU軸回りに回動可能に構成されている。第3アーム24は、U軸に直交するS軸に沿って延在している。第3アーム24の先端部には、手首部25が設けられており、手首部25は、第3アーム24に対してS軸回りに回動可能に構成されている。このように回動する手首部25は、第3アーム24側にある基端部に対して先端部26がS軸に直交するB軸回りに回動し、更に先端27が先端部26に対してB軸に直交するT軸回りに回動するように構成されている。そして、各軸には、電動モータ(図示せず)が設けられており、電動モータを動かすことで各軸回りに旋回又は回動するようになっている。このように構成される手首部25の先端27には、図3及び図4に示すように吸着ユニット12が取り付けられている。

吹付け装置14は、第2吸着装置34によりガラス板2の一部分を持ち上げたときに、持ち上げた部分の下側にエアを吹付けるための装置である。吹付け装置14は、エア供給部51と一対の圧縮エア用ホース52と一対の吹付けノズル53とを有している。エア供給部51は、図示しないコンプレッサ及び電磁弁を有している。エア供給部51は、コンプレッサから圧縮エアを供給できるようになっており、電磁弁を動作させることで圧縮エアの供給及び遮断を切換えできるように構成されている。このエア供給部51には、一対の圧縮エア用ホース52が繋がっており、この圧縮エア用ホース52の先端に吹付けノズル53が夫々繋がっている。吹付けノズル53は、その基端部が取付部材32cの左右両端部の上部に取付部材54を介して夫々取付けられている。また、吹付けノズル53は、取付部材54から前方に延在しており、その先端部が第2吸着装置34より前に位置している。また、吹付けノズル53の先端側は、下方に垂れ下がるように湾曲し、且つ先端部が下斜め後方に向いている。吹付けノズル53の先端部からは、エア供給部51から供給される圧縮エアが吹き付けられるようになっており、圧縮エアを吹き付けることで吸着しているガラス板2とその下の合紙3との間にエア層を形成するようになっている。また、その下合紙3は、クランプ装置15によって押えられている。
押え装置であるクランプ装置15は、合紙3において積層された複数のガラス板2の外縁から外側へとはみ出ている部分をガラス板2に向かってクランプするよう押えるようになっている。クランプ装置15は、図5及び図6に示すように載置台61と、複数のクランプ機構62を有している。載置台61は、基台63に固定されており、平面視でガラス板2と略同じ外形寸法を有している。載置台61の上には、ガラス板2が載置されて積層されており(図6では、合紙3を省略)、載置台61の周りには、複数のクランプ機構62、本実施形態では5つのクランプ機構62が配置されている。
合紙置き具16は、合紙3をその上に貯めて置くためのものである。合紙置き具16は、少なくとも1つの直線上の稜線Eを有するように上方に向かって突出するように形成されており、本実施形態では図8に示すように垂直断面が大略三角形状に形成されている。合紙置き具16は、合紙置き具16の上から広げた状態で落ちた合紙3を稜線Eを境に折れ曲げて(図8の1点鎖線参照)逆V字状で合紙置き具16上に載せるようになっている(図8の2点鎖線参照)。載せられた合紙3の上には、更に別の合紙3を重ねて載せることができ、合紙置き具16の上には、複数枚の合紙3を重ねておくことができるようになっている。
このように構成されるロボット11、吸着ユニット12、把持装置13、吹付け装置14、及びクランプ装置15の各機器は、制御装置17に電気的に接続されており(図1参照)、それらの動作が制御装置17によって制御されている。以下では、制御装置17が各装置11~15に備わる各機器の動作を制御し、各々の上面に合紙3が載せられている状態で積層された複数のガラス板2のうち最も上に位置するガラス板2を移載システム1によりコンベア4に移載する方法について、図9のフローチャートを参照しながら説明する。
制御装置17は、図示しない入力手段からガラス板2を移載すべき旨の指令が送られてくると、ステップS1に移行する。クランプ工程であるステップS1では、制御装置17が空圧回路70を制御してピストン67を収縮させる。これにより、押え部材66が下降しながら載置台61の方へ寄っていき、この押え部材66によって各合紙3のガラス板2からはみ出た部分が下方に折り曲げなられながら積層された複数のガラス板2の方に押えられる(図10及び図11参照)。これは、全てのクランプ機構62に対して同時に行なわれるようになっており、合紙3においてガラス板2の左右両側及び前方からはみ出た部分が積層された複数のガラス板2の側面に向かって押えられる。
本実施形態の移載システム1では、吹付け工程及び反らし工程の前に押え工程が実行されているが、必ずしもそのような順番に限られない。例えば、反らし工程の後に押え工程を実行してもよく、また吹付け工程の後に押え工程を実行してもよい。また、吸着工程と把持工程とは、別々に実行されているが同時に行なってもよい。即ち、吸着工程する際に予め進退機構41を駆動させてハンド43を下降させて合紙3を把持させ、その後吸着パッド37,40にガラス板2を吸着させる。これにより、コンベア4上にガラス板2を載置した後、吸着ユニット12を持ち上げるだけで合紙3をガラス板2の上から取り除くことができる。
