DISK CHUCKING MECHANISM AND DISK HANDLING ROBOT

摘要

A link mechanism constructed with a first, second and third link members forms a slider crank mechanism and the third link member is rotated by a drive of a forward/rearward actuator such as an air cylinder and chucking nails provided in them are protruded perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction of the first or second link member. A rotation of the chucking nail protruded perpendicularly is stopped by engaging with a disk and a spring member is bent by further forward or rearward movement of the second link member to energize the first chucking nail in a direction for maintaining an engagement with the disk. Thus, it becomes possible to chuck the disk with a predetermined force by only drive of the forward/rearward actuator.
