Abstract:
A wafer transfer robot mount/demount cart for mounting/demounting and carrying a wafer transfer robot outside a wafer transfer apparatus by linearly reciprocating along a horizontally mounted guide rail, comprising:a carrier base; a raised portion raised on the carrier base, the raised portion including a rail provided connectible to the guide rail to slide the wafer transfer robot along the guide rail of the wafer transfer apparatus onto the wafer transfer robot mount/demount cart; and a sub-electric power source, whereby a brake of the wafer transfer robot while on the guide rail is released by supplying electric power from the sub-electric power source so that the wafer transfer robot can be moved from the guide rail of the wafer transfer apparatus onto the rail of the wafer transfer robot mount/demount cart, and the brake of the wafer transfer robot is actuated by discontinuing the electric power supply from the sub-electric power source after the wafer transfer robot is retained on the rail of the wafer transfer robot mount/demount cart.
