Abstract

A processing system includes: a chamber in which a consumable member is installed; a storage module configured to store the consumable member; a position detection sensor configured to detect a position of the consumable member; a vacuum transfer module connected to the chamber and the storage module, the vacuum transfer module having a transfer robot configured to transfer the consumable member between the chamber and the storage module; and a controller. The controller performs processes of: (a) controlling transfer robot to transfer consumable member installed in the chamber to the storage module; (b) detecting position of the consumable member transferred to the storage module by the position detection sensor; and (c) controlling transfer robot to transfer a new consumable member different from the consumable member from the storage module to the chamber at a position adjusted based on the position of the consumable member detected in the process (b).
