SEPARATING MECHANISM FOR SEPARATING CIRCULAR BLADE AND/OR SPACER, HANDLING ROBOT, STORAGE STAND, AND SEPARATING METHOD

摘要

The purpose of the invention is to provide a circular blade and/or spacer separating mechanism, a handling robot, a storage stand, and a separation method with which it is possible to retrieve only the number of circular blades or spacers intended to be retrieved using the handling robot and the circular blades and spacers that do not need to be separated can be reliably left on the storage stand. The separating mechanism is characterized: in being provided with a handling robot, which has fingers (F1, F2) that grip a circular blade (C1), and a holding means (4) for holding the position of a circular blade (C2) that is adjacent to the circular blade (C1) that is to be gripped by the fingers (F1, F2); and in the handling robot separating the circular blade (C1) that is being gripped by the fingers (F1, F2) by sliding same along the end face (CE2) of the adjacent circular blade (C2) that is being held by the holding means (4).
