Abstract
An end effector has a plurality of blade bodies and a substrate holding unit on a blade proximal end side of each of the blade bodies. The substrate holding unit includes a substrate placing portion on which the bottom surface edge portion of the substrate is placed and a substrate abutting portion which extends upward from the blade proximal end side of the substrate placing portion and on which the side end portion of the substrate abuts. The height of the substrate abutting portion is set to keep the substrate from entering between an upper end of the substrate abutting portion of the blade body on a lower side and the bottom surface of the blade body on an upper side. In an end effector having a plurality of blades capable of changing in pitch in the vertical direction, substrates mounted in high density can be held without a problem.
