WORK RECEIVING DEVICE AND ROBOT EQUIPPED WITH IT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a work receiving device with which a work can be received and delivered between robots without lowering the space efficiency of a manufacturing facility even when the shapes of the hands of the robots are inappropriate to receive and deliver the work. SOLUTION: The work receiving device is provided with rotatable first and second lift pin supporting sections 62 and 62 each having a required number of lift pins 61 for supporting the work W, and an elevating/lowering means 63 which synchronously elevates and lowers the lift pin supporting sections 62 and 62. The supporting sections 62 and 62 are horizontally disposed to face each other, and the lift pins 61 are switched between stand-by attitudes and supporting attitudes by rotating the supporting sections 62 and 62. In addition, the lift pins 61 can be elevated to work receiving positions by means of the elevating/lowering means 63. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
