    摘要: A holding device that holds a plate-shaped member having flexibility includes: a first suction structure that sucks the plate-shaped member; a second suction structure that sucks the plate-shaped member and is turnable and movable; a turning device that turns the second suction structure and a moving device that moves the second suction structure. When the first suction structure and the second suction structure suck and hold the plate-shaped member, the turning device twists the plate-shaped member by turning the second suction structure such that the second suction structure is directed in a direction different from the first suction structure, and the moving device bends the plate-shaped member by moving the second suction structure such that the second suction structure retreats relative to a direction along which the first suction structure and the second suction structure are located.

    摘要: A screw supply jig includes first and second members, the second being disposed lower than the first. Either member can be slidably moved relative to the other. In the first member, a first passage hole is formed in the vertical direction. In the second member, at least a part of a second passage hole is formed in the vertical direction. The second passage hole has a first and second recessed part which is penetration shape and having a larger than the first recessed part in planar view. The recessed parts are disposed side by side in the direction of relative sliding of the members, and are connected to each other. In conjunction with the relative sliding, a situation in which the first recessed part of the second passage hole faces the first passage hole, and a situation in which the second recessed part faces the first passage hole are switched.

    摘要: A box packing device includes a first arm, a first hand, and a controller. The first hand includes a hand base, a gripping mechanism at the hand base and including a gripper to grip an upper-end of a flap of a large box, and a holding mechanism at the hand base and including a holder to hold an inner box. The controller controls the operation of the first arm and the first hand so as to perform a developing operation in which the gripping part of the gripping mechanism moves in a horizontal plane so as to develop the large box while gripping the upper-end part of the flap part of the large box in a folded state, and an accommodating operation in which the holder of the holding mechanism accommodates the inner box into the developed large box while holding the inner box.

    摘要: A component mounting device includes: a holding body, pressing mechanism to press the holding body to move on a given route, position detector to detect a position of the holding body, and controller to control the mechanism. The route including: a start position of the holding body at which an insertion pin held by the body is separated from an insertion hole of a substrate, a first position range wherein the insertion pin is partially inserted, and a section position range wherein the insertion pin is fully inserted. When the holding body is pressed by a first pressing force to move on the given route from the start position toward the second position range, the controller controls the pressing mechanism to press the holding body by a pressing force different from the first pressing force, when the holding body stops at a position before or within the first position range.

    摘要: A robot is a robot configured to convey an elongated object, and includes a first holding part and a second holding part configured to hold the elongated object extending in an up-and-down direction, at least one arm configured to move the first holding part and the second holding part, and a control device. The control device operates the arm so that the first holding part holds the elongated object at a position above a center-of-gravity position of the elongated object, the second holding part holds the elongated object at position below the center-of-gravity position, and the first holding part and the second holding part move while maintaining a state where the first holding part and the second holding part hold the elongated object.

    摘要: A holding device for foods is configured to hold self-standable foods each having a front surface and a rear surface parallel to the front surface. The holding device for the foods includes a holding part configured to hold the foods in a standing state where the front surfaces face in a first direction and in a state where the foods are lined up in the first direction. The holding part includes a plurality of pairs of holding members each configured to pinch each of the foods from both sides in the first direction, and actuator members each configured to independently operate each of the pairs of holding members.

    摘要: A food holding apparatus configured to hold and release an ingredient having fluidity, including: a base; robot arm coupled to the base; end effector at a tip end of the arm; and controller configured to control an operation of the arm and of the end effector. The end effector includes: a base portion; rotational joint having a rotation axis parallel to a horizontal direction in at least one of postures of the arm; rotary portion rotatably coupled to the base portion by the rotational joint; and a tip end portion attached to the rotary portion and including a concave portion. The controller makes the rotational joint of the tip end portion in a predetermined reference state normally rotate to hold part of the ingredient, stored in a predetermined container, inside the concave portion, and makes the rotational joint of the tip end portion reversely rotate to release the ingredient.
