Abstract
A substrate transport path adjustment method allows adjustment of the transport path of a substrate. The substrate is placed between guide members, and a sensor is used to detect the presence of the substrate. The guide members are driven to approach the substrate until a sensor detects that the edges of the substrate are near the side walls of the guide members. Both guide members are moved in synchronization in the same direction to center the substrate with respect to the centerline of a prescribed path.
