First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A screwing system comprising: a plurality of screw feeders; a screwing device configured to move in one direction on a plane between the plurality of screw feeders and a screwing position and tighten a screw, obtained by the screwing device from one of the plurality of screw feeders, on a part at the screwing position; and a robot capable of holding the part, wherein the screwing position is aligned, in the one direction, with each screw obtaining position where the screwing device obtains a screw from the respective plurality of screw feeders, wherein the robot carries the held part to the screwing position, changes a posture of the part, and carries the part from the screwing position, and wherein, while the robot holds the part, the screwing device screws the part. 2. The screwing system according to claim 1 , further comprising a screwing assist mechanism unit including a mechanism configured to press and support a part holding unit of the robot when the part is screwed. 3.
