    摘要: The substrate detection apparatus includes: a collimating reflector located on one side of substrates; an illumination unit configured to radiate light in a planar state toward the collimating reflector such that edge portions of the substrates are located in an optical path of the light; an image acquiring unit configured to acquire a passing light image including the edge portions formed on the collimating reflector with the light radiated in the planar state from the illumination unit; and an image processing unit configured to process the passing light image obtained by the image acquiring unit, thereby detecting the conditions of the substrates.

    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: 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.
