Abstract

A workpiece placement platform device including: an X-axis direction positioning member provided on one side of a placement platform on which to place a plate-shaped workpiece and configured to position one side edge of the workpiece in an X-axis direction by contacting the one side edge; a Y-axis direction positioning member provided on another side of the placement platform and configured to position another side edge of the workpiece in a Y-axis direction by contacting the another side edge; and a workpiece positioning member that is movable in and out relative to a workpiece placement surface of the placement platform and configured to partition the workpiece placement surface into sections in the X-axis direction and enable simultaneous positioning at the sections on the workpiece placement surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A workpiece placement platform device comprising:
an X-axis direction positioning member provided on one side of a placement platform on which to place a plate-shaped workpiece, wherein a position of the X-axis direction positioning member is adjustable along a Y-axis direction;
a Y-axis direction positioning member provided on another side of the placement platform and configured to position another side edge of the workpiece in the Y-axis direction by contacting the another side edge; and
a workpiece positioning member that is movable in and out horizontally from the another side of the placement platform relative to a workpiece placement surface of the placement platform and configured to partition the workpiece placement surface into sections in an X-axis direction, wherein
the X-axis direction positioning member includes an X-axis direction contact portion configured to position one side edge of the workpiece in the X-axis direction by contacting the one side edge, and a position of the X-axis direction contact portion in the workpiece placement platform device is fixed in the X-axis direction.

2. The workpiece placement platform device according to claim 1 , wherein the workpiece positioning member is configured to move in and out relative to the workpiece placement surface by pivoting horizontally.

3. The workpiece placement platform device according to claim 1 , wherein a position of the workpiece positioning member is adjustable in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction.

4. A workpiece placement platform device comprising:
an X-axis direction positioning member provided on one side of a placement platform on which to place a plate-shaped workpiece and configured to position one side edge of the workpiece in an X-axis direction by contacting the one side edge;
a Y-axis direction positioning member provided on another side of the placement platform and configured to position another side edge of the workpiece in a Y-axis direction by contacting the another side edge;
a workpiece positioning member that is movable in and out relative to a workpiece placement surface of the placement platform and configured to partition the workpiece placement surface into sections in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction; and
an in-out member that is provided on the one side or the another side of the placement platform and that is movable in and out relative to the workpiece placement surface, wherein
the workpiece positioning member that is provided to the in-out member so as to be capable of being laid down and is capable of positioning the one side edge or the another side edge of the workpiece by contacting the one side edge or the another side edge.

5. The workpiece placement platform device according to claim 4 , wherein the workpiece positioning member is provided such that a position thereof is adjustable in a longitudinal direction of the in-out member.

6. A workpiece placement platform device comprising:
an X-axis direction positioning member provided on one side of a placement platform on which to place a plate-shaped workpiece and configured to position one side edge of the workpiece in an X-axis direction by contacting the one side edge;
a Y-axis direction positioning member provided on another side of the placement platform and configured to position another side edge of the workpiece in a Y-axis direction by contacting the another side edge;
an in-out member that is movable in and out horizontally from the another side of the placement platform relative to a workpiece placement surface of the placement platform; and
a workpiece positioning member that is movable in and out horizontally from the another side of the placement platform relative to the workpiece placement surface and configured to partition the workpiece placement surface into sections in the X-axis direction, wherein
the workpiece positioning member is provided on the in-out member,
a proximal end of the in-out member is turnably provided on a support member that is provided on the another side and has a pivot about which the in-out member is pivotable,
the workpiece positioning member is configured to move in and out relative to the workpiece placement surface by pivoting horizontally about the pivot of the support member, and
a position of the support member is adjustable along the X-axis direction.
