Claim 11:
12. The plate attaching-detaching apparatus of claim 1,
wherein during a plate attaching operation, the control unit is configured to: controllably operate the robot arm so as to move a plate held by the plate holding device toward the plate-receiving metal frame; then when the force detected by the force sensor reaches a given threshold, controllably operate the robot arm so as to stop the movement of the plate holding device, and controllably operate the widening and narrowing means so as to widen the distance between the holding members to release the plate; and, in a state in which the plate is released, controllably operate the robot arm so as to further move the plate holding device toward the plate-receiving metal frame, and, then when the force detected by the force sensor reaches a given threshold, stop the movement of the plate holding device; and then controllably operate the robot arm so as to move only the plate holding device away from the plate-receiving metal frame, thereby attaching the plate to the plate-receiving metal frame.
