Abstract
A panel transfer device according to one or more embodiment may include a base; an arm rotatably connected to the base, which includes a first detector; an end effector connected to the arm, including: a connector rotatably connected to the arm; a wrist connected to the connector, including a second detector; and a pair of forks connected to the wrist, including sensors. In response to the end effector gripping the panel, the sensor detects displacement of the panel in a first direction, the end effector rotates to a position where the first and second detectors face each other, the first and second detectors communicate to detect displacement of the panel in a second direction, and the panel transfer device calculates a correction amount based on the detected displacement of the panel in the first direction and in the second direction, and places the panel based on the correction amount.
