  • Patent number: 11922367
    Abstract: A stocker system for transporting a good via a transport vehicle to a stocker with multiple storage compartments, the stocker system including: a stocker information memory section configured to memorize stocker information including arrangement position information of the storage compartments in the stocker, and information of presence or absence of the good in the storage compartments; a stocker information updating section configured to update the stocker information in accordance with the goods being taken in and out of the storage compartments; and a stopping position setting section configured to acquire the arrangement position information of an empty storage compartment from the stocker information and to set a stopping position of the transport vehicle for the good to be put into the empty storage compartment based on the acquired arrangement position information of the empty storage compartment.

  • Publication number: 20210276054
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of removing oil regardless of a shape of a target object to which the oil is attached. Cutting oil is decomposed by irradiating the cutting oil with a plasma gas containing oxygen plasma. Oxygen radicals decompose a carbon element and a hydrogen element constituting the oil into carbon dioxide and water, respectively, to remove the oil. Therefore, paraffin and ester contained in the cutting oil can be decomposed by irradiating the cutting oil with the plasma gas containing oxygen plasma. Since the plasma gas can flow along a shape of a target object, the oil can be removed regardless of a shape of a portion of the target object to which the oil is attached.

  • Patent number: 10690728
    Abstract: A plasma-generating device capable of detecting a short circuit or electrical discharge of a cable. In response to a detection voltage detected by a current transformer becoming equal to or greater than a threshold voltage, a touchscreen panel of the plasma-generating device reports a current abnormality. When a short circuit or a discharge occurs between the first cable and the second cable, which are a pair of cables, an induced current flows through the shield member by electromagnetic induction. Therefore, the detector can detect a current abnormality due to a short circuit or electrical discharge between the first cable and the second cable.
