Abstract:
1. A work handling mechanism comprising: a relay stand that performs relaying for transferring a work before inspection taken out from a work feed container to one of a plurality of inspection machines and further performs relaying for transferring a work after inspection received from one of the plurality of inspection machines to a work accommodation container, wherein the relay stand includes a first relaying point, a second relaying point and a plurality of work mounting bases and, when one of the plurality of work mounting bases is placed at the first relaying point, the relay stand receives a work before inspection thereon and when another of the plurality of work mounting bases is placed at the second relaying point, the relay stand receives a work after inspection thereon, the work handling mechanism further comprising: a mounting base moving mechanism which transfers the work before inspection to the second relaying point as well as transfers the work after inspection to the first relaying point by moving a work mounting base located at the first relaying point to the second relaying point and a work mounting base located at the second relaying point to the first relaying point, a first handling robot which takes out a work before inspection from the work feed container and mounts the same on the work mounting base located at the first relaying point after transferring the work after inspection from the work mounting base located at the first relaying point to the work accommodation container, a second handling robot which transfers a work after inspection from one of the plurality of inspection machines to the work mounting base located at the second relaying point and mounts the same thereon after transferring the work before inspection from the work mounting base located at the second relaying point to one of the plurality of inspection machines, and a control unit which controls rotation of the mounting base moving mechanism as well as controls the relay stand, the first handling robot and the second handling robot.
