Method and apparatus for temporal storing and conveying of plate shaped members.

摘要

A continuous and sequential temporal storing and conveying of plate shaped members (A) to the next processing step, in which the differently sized and randomly ordered plate shaped members (A) can be easily handled and manipulated. A substantially vertical wall surface (112) is provided and the plate shaped (A) members are temporarily stored in a state of leaning against the wall surface (112) and sequentially fed toward the wall surface (112). Then, a nearest-to-wall plate shaped member (A1) among the stored plate shaped members (A) is drawn to the wall surface (112) in order to vertically erect the nearest-to-wall plate shaped member (A1) and separate the nearest-to-wall plate shaped member (A1) from remaining stored plate shaped members (A). Then, the vertically erected nearest-to-wall plate shaped member is conveyed to the next processing step along the wall surface (112). <IMAGE>
