    摘要: In the present invention, a base 43 of a robot 27 is fixed to a fixing portion 53 of a frame divided body 50. The base 43 allows force exerted from a robot main body 27A to be transmitted to the fixing portion 53 of the frame divided body 50. Contrary, the fixing portion 53 of the frame divided body 50 has rigidity which can prevent the force exerted from the base 43 of the robot 27 from being transmitted to a main body constituting member 51. Accordingly, the base 43 of the robot 27 has only to possess a function for connecting the robot main body 27A and the frame divided body 50. Therefore, even though reducing its rigidity, transmission of vibration to the wafer processing apparatus can be prevented, as well as occurrence of malfunctioning in the substrate processing work can be prevented. In addition, increasing the rigidity of the frame divided body 50 can be achieved easier with a simpler construction and more effective than increasing the rigidity of the robot. Accordingly, more secured wafer processing can be provided.

    摘要: Provided is a robot comprising a telescopic-drive mechanism which does not contaminate works in a purified environment such as a clean room, is easy to handle, and requires no cover for covering the telescopic-drive mechanism. A robot comprises: an up-down axis in which a plurality of hollow axis sectional elements telescopically continue; and a telescopic-drive mechanism for driving the up-down axis to be vertically extended or retracted between an extended state in which a tip end of the up-down axis extends with respect to a base end thereof and a retracted state in which the tip end is moved close to the base end, wherein the telescopic-drive mechanism is integrated on one side of the up-down axis without being exposed from the up-down axis.

    摘要: A target position detection apparatus for a robot includes : a robot including an arm configured to be freely moved in at least two directions of X and Y axes, the arm having a wrist axis provided at a distal end of the arm and configured to be freely moved in a horizontal direction, and the wrist axis being provided with an end effector; and a control unit adapted for driving a memory to store a teaching point therein and controlling an operation of the robot such that the end effector will be moved toward the teaching point stored in the memory. The control unit is further adapted for changing a pressing force of the end effector against a target by changing a control loop gain, and bringing the end effector into contact with the target, while setting the control loop gain of the wrist axis lower than a predetermined value at least from a position adjacent to the teaching point at which the target is located, so as to capture a position in a state in which the end effector is in contact with the target, thereby detecting the position of the target.

    摘要: In this invention, a movable body movable in forward and backward directions and a connector fixed to an opener-side door are connected with each other by link members so as to constitute a parallel link mechanism, such that they can be angularly displaced relative to each other. Link member angular displacement means controls the angular displacement of each link member relative to the movable body to be in a predetermined angular position, corresponding to the position of the movable body along the forward and backward directions. Reciprocation of the movable body in the forward and backward directions by movable body drive means moves the opener-side door in the forward and backward directions as well as in the upward and downward directions, thereby opening an opener-side opening. Since the movable body is moved only in the forward and backward directions, and necessity of moving and guiding the movable body in the upward and downward directions can be eliminated, the substrate container opener can be downsized, and a space provided below a FOUP supporting portion can be utilized effectively.
