  • Publication number: 20150032243
    Abstract: A robot system according to an aspect of the embodiment includes at least one robot, a transporter, and a controller. The robot performs multi-axial operation based on an operation instruction by the controller. The transporter has a pair of guides arranged parallel to each other along a predetermined transport direction, the guides having a variable spacing therebetween, transports a workpiece to a working position of the robot while restricting the movement of the workpiece present in an area between the pair of guides toward the direction of the spacing, and sandwiches and holds the workpiece by the pair of guides at the working position. The controller instructs the robot to perform the operation to apply predetermined processing to the workpiece held at the working position.
