An inspection device includes: one chamber in which an IC device after an inspection can be arranged; another chamber in which the IC device after the inspection can be arranged and which is different from the one chamber; and a tray on which the electronic component after the inspection can be placed and which can move with the IC device from the one chamber to the another chamber. Also, the inspection device can detect at least one of humidity and temperature in the another chamber.

Electronic component carrying device and electronic component inspection device

An electronic component transport apparatus includes: an openable and closable first opening and closing portion; a first rotation support portion which supports the first opening and closing portion to be rotatable; a second opening and closing portion provided to be openable and closable in the first opening and closing portion; and a second rotation support portion which supports the second opening and closing portion to be rotatable. An area of the first opening and closing portion is greater than an area of the second opening and closing portion.

Electronic component transport apparatus and electronic component inspection apparatus

A robot includes a joint as a first member, a link as a second member rotating around a third primary rotational axis in a bending and stretching manner with respect to the joint, a wiring board installed in the joint so that the first surface faces in a direction roughly perpendicular to the third primary rotational axis, and having a connector as a connection section to be connected to one end of an FPC as a flat cable disposed on the first surface, and a reel provided to the link, and formed by winding the other end side of the FPC around a rotational axis roughly parallel to the third primary rotational axis, and the FPC is connected to the first surface roughly perpendicularly to the first surface.

Robot

A robot arm increases a plurality of arm sections that are turnably connected. The arm sections include a plurality of links and an actuator section that turns the plurality of links. The actuator section includes: a cylindrical cover provided on an outer surface; a motor that turns the plurality of links; a motor frame included in the motor; a reduction gear that decelerates rotation from the motor and outputs a torque; a collar fixed to the reduction gear; and a wire body including at least one of a wire and a pipe. At least a part of the wire body is housed between a surface including a first small body section formed by the motor frame and the collar and a surface including a second small body section of the cylindrical cover.

Robot arm and robot

A robot includes a base, a multi-joint arm provided in the base, and a wrist member configuring a part of the multi-joint arm. The wrist member includes: a motor including a rotor, a rotor shaft, and a stator; and a housing including a motor housing recess, in which the motor is positioned and housed, and forming an external shape of the wrist member. The housing has a motor incorporating recess including a positioning section for the stator, a hole section for fixing the stator incorporated in the motor incorporating recess, and a heat radiation groove section on a sidewall of the motor incorporating recess. A heat radiation member is filled in the heat radiation groove section.

Robot and manufacturing method for robot

A robot includes an angular velocity sensor that detects the vibration of a robot. A control device allows the robot to perform a trial operation and acquires the measurement result measured by the angular velocity sensor during the trial operation as vibration information and analyzes the acquired vibration information based on maker evaluating information that is stored in a database. In the maker evaluating information, vibration information and the operating speed appropriate to the installation situation of the robot at which the vibration information is measured are associated with each other. Then, the robot is operated at an operating speed selected based on the analysis result of the vibration information.

Robot controller, simple installation-type robot, and method of controlling simple installation-type robot

A jointed arm has an upper arm member joined to a second shoulder member, a first forearm member joined to the upper arm member by a first bending and stretching mechanism, and a wrist member joined to the first forearm member by a second bending and stretching mechanism, the first forearm member has a first turning mechanism that rotates the second bending and stretching mechanism, a hand section is joined to the wrist member by a second turning mechanism, and the rotation axes of the first and second turning mechanisms are offset. The upper arm member has a housing recessed portion that houses part of the first forearm member, part of the first turning mechanism, and part of the second bending and stretching mechanism in a state in which the first forearm member bends toward the upper arm member and the wrist member bends toward the first forearm member.

A robot hand that changes a space between finger members provided apart from each other includes: moving members on which the finger members are vertically provided; a palm member including a moving mechanism for moving the moving members in a predetermined axial direction; and guide members that guide the movement of the moving members in the predetermined axial direction.

Robot hand

An apparatus includes: a retainer moving between a shuttle and a socket; a presser holding a component; an adjuster moving the presser; a socket mark near the socket; a hand mark near the socket mark when the retainer is at a component mounting position; a first camera photographing a first image including the component and hand mark; a second camera photographing a second image including the socket mark and socket, and a third image including the socket mark and hand mark; a first calculator obtaining a first relative position between the socket mark and socket from the second image; a second calculator obtaining a second relative position between the socket mark and hand mark from the third image; and a third calculator obtaining a third relative position between the hand mark and component from the first image. The adjuster corrects the component's position based on the relative positions.

Component transferring apparatus and IC handler

The liquid ejecting heads are arranged on the head carrying member such that each pair of nozzles that are next to each other in terms of first-direction positions of adjacent ones of the liquid ejecting heads are shifted relative to each other by an offset length &#x3b4; corresponding to a relative displacement in the first direction between the liquid ejecting heads due to thermal expansion during liquid ejection with reference to a specified pitch at which nozzles included in a single nozzle row are provided.
