Abstract:
This article supply method comprises: a step for introducing, using a movable block capable of reciprocating between a first position and a second position, a single object to be conveyed into a housing portion formed on the movable block when the movable block is in the first position; a forward step for pressing the movable block from the first position in a range of motion of the movable block while vacuum-sucking the movable block from the second position in the range of motion of the movable block, and then continuing the vacuum-sucking from the second position and moving the movable block to the second position; a step for discharging the object to be conveyed from the housing portion when the movable block is in the second position; and a return step for vacuum-sucking the movable block from the first position and moving the movable block to the first position.

Claim (Index 1):
An article supply method using a movable block capable of a reciprocal movement between a first position and a second position, comprising:\n a process of introducing one conveyed object into a housing portion formed on the movable block when the movable block is in the first position; a forward process of pressurizing the movable block from a first position side of a movable area for a predetermined time to push the movable block while vacuum-sucking the movable block from a second position side of the movable area of the movable block, and then continuing the vacuum suction from the second position side to move the movable block to the second position; a process of discharging the conveyed object from the housing portion when the movable block is in the second position; and a return process of vacuum-sucking the movable block from the first position side to move the movable block to the first position.
