  • Transport system and processing system
    Patent number: 11929655
    Abstract: An embodiment includes: a first transport module on which a carriage moves; a second transport module that is configured to be able to move to a position for connecting to the first transport module and on which the carriage is able to move to and from the first transport module; a position detection unit that detects a position in a moving direction of the second transport module and outputs position information; a first control unit that controls motion of the carriage on the first transport module; a second control unit that controls motion of the carriage on the second transport module; a third control unit that controls motion of the second transport module; and a fourth control unit that controls the first to third control units. The fourth control unit corrects a position where the second transport module connects to the first transport module based on the position information.

  • Parts assembly system
    Patent number: 9102022
    Abstract: In a parts assembly system which assembled subsidiary parts with main parts, the main parts are conveyed through a first conveying path to an assembly robot provided along the first conveying path, and the subsidiary parts are supplied through the first conveying path to stockers provided along the first conveying path. In consequence, the travel space of the conveying cart is saved.
