  • Patent number: 12085608
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a picker device. The pickers are arranged in a line on a picker support, and each of the pickers comprises: a main nozzle in which vacuum pressure is applied or released at the lower end; and a lift actuator supported by the picker support to lift and lower the main nozzle. A sub-nozzle docking module is docked or undocked with the main nozzles, and comprises: at least one sub-nozzle which adsorbs or desorbs an object to be transferred as vacuum pressure is applied or released at the lower end thereof; a docking mount which receives vacuum pressure from the main nozzles in a docked state with the main nozzles by supporting the sub-nozzle at the lower end thereof and delivers the vacuum pressure to the sub-nozzle through a vacuum passage; and an attachment/detachment mechanism for attaching and detaching the docking mount to and from the picker support.

  • Publication number: 20230144924
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method for confirming the mounted state of picker mounts. Barcodes are formed on corresponding picker mounts while including information for identifying each type of picker mount. A barcode reader is arranged on one side of a variable picker module so as to sequentially read each barcode of the picker mounts moving in the arrangement direction of pickers while mounted on the pickers. A system controller identifies each position and type of the corresponding picker mounts on the basis of information provided from the barcode reader, and then, compares same with confirmation criteria so as to confirm incorrect mounting and non-mounting of the picker mounts.
