Abstract: A method and an apparatus for detecting positions of wafers. A rotation table, on which the wafer with an aiming feature is disposed, rotates in a direction at a faster speed while a detector detects a periphery of the wafer and provides a controller with a detection result. The rotation table rotates in an opposite direction at a slower speed after the aiming feature passes the detector, while the detector detects the periphery of the wafer and provides the controller with a new detection result. A respective detection result corresponds to a rotation angle. When the aiming feature passes the detector again, the rotation table stops rotating, and the controller computes the eccentric position of the wafer and the position of the aiming feature according to the detection results and their rotation angles. Therefore, the time for detection may decrease.

Abstract: A robot teaching device is suitable for being signal connected to a controller used to control a robot, and includes: a connecting base which includes an enable switch and a first connector, and is connected to the controller by a transmission wire; a motion device which is removably disposed in the connecting base, and includes a second connector connected to the first connector, and a touch screen for displaying plural virtual keys. The motion device will be wirelessly signal connected to the controller, when it is removed from the connecting base, and the touch screen will display the virtual keys. When the motion device is inserted in the connecting base, and the enable switch is not pressed, the first and second connectors will be connected, and the virtual keys will be switched off. The virtual keys will be switched on after the enable switch is kept being pressed.
