请参阅图 2 至图 5 , 现在面板解包工序中， 具体动作如下： 用作用部 分是真空吸盘 902的六轴机械手 900将面板 550吸取， 然后提升； 接着往 运输设备（未图示）方向运动一段距离， 然后停止， 将面板 550旋转， 使 面板 550上下面调换， 真空吸盘 902 由原来的上方提取面板 550, 变为在 下方托起面板 550; 接着继续向运输设备方向运动， 运动到运输设备的供 面板 550放置的顶针（ pin ) 750上方， 接着真空吸盘 902托着面板 550向 下运动， 将面板 550平稳的放置在运输设备的供面板 550放置的顶针 750 上， 整个工序大 ^既耗时 30秒。
上述面板解包工序由于存在面板旋转动作， 面板的破片在此动作中发 生的几率过高； 而且由于旋转， 所需的空间大， 设备体积大， 面板运行的 距离大； 加之需要旋转复位， 所以整个面板解包动作过于繁杂， 设备的效 率大大降低。
