Abstract:
A panel conveyance system includes a pin member, a bar pad facing a panel right lower portion, a block pad facing a panel left lower portion, a bar guide positioned outside an outer edge end of the panel left lower portion, and a conveyance robot. The panel conveyance system further includes a panel take-out control unit that hangs a panel on a pin member, and a temporary retention control unit that causes the bar pad to come into contact with a surface of the panel right lower portion, causes the block pad to come into contact with a surface of the panel left lower portion, and causes the bar guide to come into contact with the panel left lower portion to temporarily retain the panel while keeping the panel hung on the pin member, and a holding control unit that holds the temporarily retained panel with a clamp.

Claim (Index 12):
A panel holding method for holding a panel in which a hole portion is formed, using a panel holding device,\n the panel being placed in a stocker to arrange the hole portion on an upper side in a vertical direction, the panel holding device including a pin member to be inserted into the hole portion, a fall-off prevention mechanism configured to prevent the panel hung on the pin member from falling off the pin member, a frame member supporting the pin member, a first contact member supported by the frame member to face a first panel portion in a state where the panel is hung on the pin member, when the panel hung on the pin member is divided into right and left portions by a vertical line passing through the hole portion, and in a case where a portion that is one of the right and left portions and is lower than the hole portion is the first panel portion and a portion that is the other of the right and left portions and is lower than the hole portion is a second panel portion, a sucking device supported by the frame member in a vicinity of the first contact member and configured to suck the first panel portion, a second contact member supported by the frame member to face the second panel portion in the state where the panel is hung on the pin member, a third contact member supported by the frame member to be positioned outside an outer edge end of the second panel portion in the state where the panel is hung on the pin member, and a holding device supported by the frame member in a vicinity of the third contact member and configured to hold the second panel portion, the panel holding method comprising: a panel take-out step of causing the pin member to be inserted into the hole portion and causing the fall-off prevention mechanism to be in a fall-off prevention state to hang the panel on the pin member by moving the frame member; a temporary retention step of causing the first contact member to come into contact with a surface of the first panel portion, causing the second contact member to come into contact with a surface of the second panel portion, and causing the third contact member to come into contact with the outer edge end of the second panel portion to temporarily retain the panel by changing a orientation of the frame member with respect to the panel while keeping the panel hung on the pin member; and a holding step of causing the holding device to hold the second panel portion and causing the sucking device to suck the first panel portion, of the temporarily retained panel.
