摘要： A height sensor 26 and an image recognizing section 28 are installed in a teaching unit 24; the height sensor 26 contacts a pin 30a on a load port 4 to detect the height position of the pin 30a and the image recognizing section 28 recognizes a pin 30c and thus its horizontal plane position. A platform 16 of an overhead travelling carriage 8 grips and lowers the teaching unit 24 toward the load port 4. The height sensor 26 then detects the height of the load port 4. Then, the teaching unit 24 is slightly raised. The horizontal plane position of the pin 30c is recognized and averaged over a time equal to at least the vibration period of the platform 16. As a result, the position of the load port can be accurately taught to the overhead travelling carriage 8 without preparations such as the installation of marks on the load port.

摘要： An overhead travelling carriage is provided wherein three drums are arranged on a base of a hoist unit along the sides of an imaginary equilateral triangle. Two motors and a brake are arranged along imaginary lines which join the imaginary center of the imaginary equilateral triangle where a hypoid gear of the hoist unit is positioned and the imaginary apices of the imaginary equilateral triangle. The rotation of the hypoid gear is transmitted to a spur gear on the drum side of the spur gear in order to drive the drum. As a result, the hoist unit of the overhead travelling carriage may be reduced in size.

摘要： Guide tracks 56, 56 projecting in a vertical direction are provided in a right and left of a running track 50 and left and right guide rollers 20, 21 are provided on a track guided vehicle and guided using inner surfaces of the left and right guide tracks. Branching rollers 22, 23 each comprising elevating and lowering means are provided in the right and left of the track guided vehicle and outside the right and left guide tracks. Thus, branching and rectilinear progression of the track guided vehicle is controlled by switching between a state where the branching rollers 22, 23 are elevated or lowered to guide the track guided vehicle using outer surfaces of the guide tracks 56, 56 and a state where the branching rollers 22, 23 do not contact with the outer surfaces. Whether the track guided vehicle runs straight or shifts to a branch line can be controlled by contacting one of the branching rollers 22, 23 with the outer surface of the corresponding guide tracks 56, 56, which guide the guide rollers 20, 21 in the section (rectilinear progression section 52) different from the branching portion 51.
