Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A disc pick-and-place device including a disc pick-and-place body and a quantity sensing unit is provided. The disc pick-and-place body is for clamping and unloading at least one disc. The quantity sensing unit is disposed on the disc pick-and-place body for sensing the quantity of the at least one disc clamped on the disc pick-and-place body. The quantity sensing unit includes a movable piece and an optical distance measuring device. The movable piece leans on at least one disc and moves as the quantity of the at least one disc changes. The optical distance measuring device is for emitting a beam and receiving the beam reflected from the movable piece to detect the quantity of the at least one disc.
