Conveyance system

Abstract

The present invention includes a conveyance device () having a moving platform (), a transfer device () and a robot () arranged on the moving platform (), and a controller (). The transfer device () has an engagement member () engageable with an object (W) to be conveyed and an advancing and retracting mechanism advancing and retracting the engagement member (). The controller () executes a first moving operation of moving the moving platform () to a working position for a holding device (), an engaging operation of engaging the engagement member () with the object (W) by causing the advancing and retracting mechanism to advance the engagement member (), and an extracting operation of extracting the object (W) from the holding device () by causing the advancing and retracting mechanism to retract the engagement member (), and then executes a second moving operation of moving the moving platform () to a working position for an industrial machinery (), a loading operation of loading the object (W) into the industrial machinery () by causing the advancing and retracting mechanism to advance the engagement member (), and a retracting operation of causing the advancing and retracting mechanism to retract the engagement member ().
