<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gear assembly device which can set many different-sized gears onto a shaft member. <P>SOLUTION: A first robot 17 waits at a predetermined position, catching a gear 24 in a hand 45. A second robot 18 catches a circumferential surface 24b of the gear 24 by a pair of fingers 61 and 62. Thus, the gear 24 has been shifted for grip from the first robot 17 to the second robot 18. The second robot 18 casts the gear 24 onto the shaft member 19 from above. The first robot catches both side surfaces of the gear. Because both side surfaces are caught, different-sized gears can be easily picked up by the first robot from a gear supply mechanism. As a result, the gear assembly device can set many different-sized gears onto the shaft member. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
