Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An object is to enhance conveyance performance of a hand that places an article on a base with a hand and conveys the article. A hand includes: a base; a first holder that is supported to be movable in a predetermined first direction with respect to the base and holds an article; a second holder that is aligned with the first holder in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, is supported to be movable in the first direction with respect to the base, and holds the article; a first driver that moves the first holder and the second holder in the first direction; and an adjustor that adjusts a position of one of the first holder and the second holder in the first direction independently of the other.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A hand comprising: a base; a first holder that is supported to be movable in a predetermined first direction with respect to the base and holds an article; a second holder that is aligned with the first holder in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, is supported to be movable in the first direction with respect to the base, and holds the article; a first driver that moves the first holder and the second holder in the first direction; and an adjustor that adjusts a position of one of the first holder and the second holder in the first direction independently of the other. 2 . The hand according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustor includes a first adjustor that adjusts a position of the first holder in the first direction independently of the second holder, and a second adjustor that adjusts a position of the second holder in the first direction independently of the first holder. 3 . The hand according to claim 2 , wherein a maximum adjustment amount of the position of the first holder in the first direction by the first adjustor is different from a maximum adjustment amount of the position of the second holder in the first direction by the second adjustor. 4 . The hand according to claim 2 , wherein a position of the first holder in the first direction when the first holder is most advanced from the base in the first direction by adjustment by the first adjustor is different from a position of the second holder in the first direction when the second holder is most advanced from the base in the first direction by adjustment by the second adjustor. 5 . The hand according to claim 4 , wherein the second direction is an up-down direction, the second holder is located above the first holder, and a position of the second holder in the first direction when the second holder is farthest from the base in the first direction by adjustment by the second adjustor is farther from the base in the first direction than a position of the first holder in the first direction when the first holder is farthest from the base in the first direction by adjustment by the first adjustor. 6 . The hand according to claim 1 , further comprising: a guide that supports the second holder such that the second holder is movable in the second direction; and a second driver that moves the second holder in the second direction.
