Abstract
A module system is configured by positioning a first module in which a first guide device is incorporated and a second module in which a second guide device is incorporated along a guide direction. The module system includes a first positioning portion configured to position the first module and the second module in such a manner that a gap between the first guide device and the second guide device is a predetermined distance. The module system further includes a second positioning portion configured to position the first module and the second module in such a manner that a shift between an axial direction of the first guide device and an axial direction of the second guide device in a direction orthogonal to the guide direction in a plan view is equal to or less than a predetermined amount of shift.
