More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for automatically setting a belt-like workpiece on a belt-like workpiece conveyance device including a high position in the conveyance path, and is particularly suitable for application to a belt-like workpiece exposure apparatus, printing apparatus, or the like.

図7は従来における帯状ワークの両面露光装置10を示す正面概略図である。図7に示すように、両面露光装置10は、帯状ワークWの表側面に露光を行う第1ステージ20と、帯状ワークWの裏側面に露光を行う第2ステージ30とを備え、間歇搬送された帯状ワークWの表側面及び裏側面に対してこの順に露光処理を行う装置である(特許文献1参照)。   FIG. 7 is a schematic front view showing a conventional double-sided exposure apparatus 10 for a strip-shaped workpiece. As shown in FIG. 7, the double-sided exposure apparatus 10 includes a first stage 20 that exposes the front side surface of the strip-shaped workpiece W and a second stage 30 that exposes the back side surface of the strip-shaped workpiece W, and is intermittently transported. This is an apparatus for performing exposure processing in this order on the front side surface and the back side surface of the strip-shaped workpiece W (see Patent Document 1).

このような両面露光装置10への帯状ワークWのセットは、次のようにして行っていた。すなわち作業者は、まず軸J1回りに回転自在に装着された送り出しリール21から、帯状ワークWの先端を手でつまみ、送り出しリール21を回転させながら徐々に帯状ワークWを繰り出す。繰り出した帯状ワークWをガイドローラ22及び第1エアダンサー部23にセットした後、グリッパ41の隙間に通す。   The belt-like workpiece W is set on the double-sided exposure apparatus 10 in the following manner. That is, the operator first picks up the belt-like workpiece W from the delivery reel 21 that is rotatably mounted around the axis J 1 by hand, and gradually feeds the belt-like workpiece W while rotating the delivery reel 21. The fed strip-shaped workpiece W is set on the guide roller 22 and the first air dancer 23 and then passed through the gap of the gripper 41.

次に作業者は横長の踏み台の上に載り、帯状ワークWの先端を持って高所位置P1(床面から3m弱程度)まで引き上げ、第1ワーク搬送ガイド部5の最上流部で角度を90度変化させ、帯状ワークWを徐々に繰り出しながら、踏み台の上を図中矢印X1方向に移動する。そして、帯状ワークWの正面視形状が略逆U字形となるように第1ワーク搬送ガイド部5に掛け渡す。帯状ワークWの先端は、踏み台を使わなくても届く高さとなる位置まで垂らす。次に作業者は踏み台を降り、帯状ワークWの先端をグリッパ241の隙間に通し、第2エアダンサー部26にセットする。その後、裏側面露光ステージ30についても上と同様な要領でセットする。
特願2005−039635号
Next, the operator puts on the horizontally long platform, lifts the tip of the strip-shaped workpiece W to the high position P1 (about 3 m or less from the floor surface), and sets the angle at the most upstream portion of the first workpiece conveyance guide section 5. The position is changed by 90 degrees and the belt-like workpiece W is gradually fed out and moved on the platform in the direction of arrow X1 in the figure. Then, the belt-like workpiece W is hung on the first workpiece conveyance guide portion 5 so that the shape of the belt-like workpiece W when viewed from the front is substantially an inverted U-shape. The tip of the belt-like workpiece W is hung up to a position that can be reached without using a platform. Next, the operator gets off the platform, passes the tip of the strip-shaped workpiece W through the gap of the gripper 241, and sets it on the second air dancer unit 26. Thereafter, the back side exposure stage 30 is set in the same manner as above.

The free roller 52 functions as a guide surface for transporting the strip-shaped workpiece W after the setting of the strip-shaped workpiece W to the front side exposure stage 2 is completed.

第1ワーク送り部6は、第1ワーク搬送ガイド部5に組み付けられた形態をとり、フレーム板51に回転自在に支承され外周部に歯部を形成した駆動側プーリ61と、同じくフレーム板51に回転自在に支承され外周部に歯部を形成した従動側プーリ62(62a,62b,62c)と、内周部に形成した歯部が駆動側プーリ61の歯部と従動側プーリ62の歯部とに噛み合うように掛け渡された無端状のタイミングベルト63と、駆動側プーリ61に直結する回転駆動モータ64とを備える。タイミングベルト63は、左右一対とされ、その走行方向側に向けて突出し治具8に形成された切欠溝81に掛合可能な断面視略L字状の凸部631を備える。凸部631は、左右のタイミングベルト63に対象に設けられ、1本のタイミングベルト63について等間隔に複数個設けられることが好ましい。左右対称とすることで搬送時の安定性が確保できる。   The first work feeding section 6 is in a form assembled to the first work conveyance guide section 5, and is rotatably supported by the frame plate 51 and has a driving pulley 61 having teeth formed on the outer peripheral portion thereof. Driven pulley 62 (62a, 62b, 62c) which is rotatably supported on the outer peripheral portion and the tooth portion formed on the inner peripheral portion is the teeth of the driving pulley 61 and the driven pulley 62. An endless timing belt 63 that is stretched so as to mesh with the portion, and a rotary drive motor 64 that is directly connected to the drive pulley 61 are provided. The timing belt 63 includes a pair of left and right protrusions, and includes a convex portion 631 having a substantially L-shaped cross-sectional view that protrudes toward the traveling direction and can be engaged with a notch groove 81 formed in the jig 8. It is preferable that a plurality of convex portions 631 are provided on the left and right timing belts 63 and provided at regular intervals with respect to one timing belt 63. The stability during conveyance can be ensured by making it symmetrical.

第1ニップローラ部7は、駆動側プーリ61と同じ回転軸に取り付けられた駆動ローラ65と、帯状ワークWの表側面を押圧可能とする押圧面を有するニップローラ71と、駆動ローラ65に向けてニップローラ71を水平駆動するエアーシリンダ72とから構成される。駆動ローラ65の取付位置は、下流ターンガイド部5Cの下方位置とされる。また駆動ローラ65は、フリーローラ52とは異なり、露光動作時における帯状ワークWの搬送時には回転動作が拘束されているため、露光動作時に帯状ワークWに接触しない位置に配置するのが好ましい。これにより、帯状ワークWが損傷を受けることが回避できる。   The first nip roller unit 7 includes a driving roller 65 attached to the same rotation shaft as the driving pulley 61, a nip roller 71 having a pressing surface capable of pressing the front side surface of the belt-like workpiece W, and a nip roller toward the driving roller 65. And an air cylinder 72 for horizontally driving 71. The mounting position of the drive roller 65 is set to a position below the downstream turn guide portion 5C. Further, unlike the free roller 52, the driving roller 65 is constrained to rotate when the belt-like workpiece W is conveyed during the exposure operation, and is therefore preferably disposed at a position where it does not contact the belt-like workpiece W during the exposure operation. Thereby, it can avoid that the strip | belt-shaped workpiece | work W receives damage.

次に、図1から図6を参照して帯状ワークの自動セット装置の動作について説明する。作業者は、まず軸J1回りに回転自在に装着された送り出しリール21(図1参照)から、帯状ワークWの先端を手でつまみ、送り出しリール21を回転させながら徐々に帯状ワークWを繰り出す。そして、繰り出した帯状ワークWをガイドローラ22及び第1エアダンサー部23にセットする。次に帯状ワークWの先端に治具8を取り付けた後、治具8と帯状ワークWとの付け根付近をグリッパ41の隙間に通す。次に操作パネル9から、グリッパ41を挟持状態とする指示を入力し、その後グリッパ41を上昇させる指示を入力する。これによりグリッパ41は、図6(A)に示すように、上記付け根付近を挟持した状態でサーボモータ431の駆動により上昇する。   Next, the operation of the automatic apparatus for setting a strip-shaped workpiece will be described with reference to FIGS. The operator first picks up the belt-like workpiece W from the delivery reel 21 (see FIG. 1) rotatably mounted around the axis J 1 by hand, and gradually feeds the belt-like workpiece W while rotating the delivery reel 21. Then, the fed strip-shaped workpiece W is set on the guide roller 22 and the first air dancer 23. Next, after attaching the jig 8 to the tip of the strip-shaped workpiece W, the vicinity of the base of the jig 8 and the strip-shaped workpiece W is passed through the gap of the gripper 41. Next, an instruction for holding the gripper 41 is input from the operation panel 9 and then an instruction for raising the gripper 41 is input. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6A, the gripper 41 is lifted by the drive of the servo motor 431 while the vicinity of the root is sandwiched.

グリッパ41が上昇して、図6(B)に示すように、治具8の切欠溝81が掛合可能範囲5Dに入ったところで、グリッパ41の停止指示を操作パネル9から入力する。これにより、サーボモータ431が停止し、治具8は掛合可能範囲5D内で停止する。なお、掛合可能範囲5Dとは、上向きに走行中の凸部631が治具8の切欠溝81に掛合可能となる治具8の垂直方向位置の範囲である。続いて作業者は、タイミングベルト63の走行指示を操作パネル9から入力する。これにより回転駆動モータ64が回転して、駆動側プーリ61が図中時計回り方向に回転し、タイミングベルト63が走行する。   When the gripper 41 rises and the notch groove 81 of the jig 8 enters the engageable range 5D as shown in FIG. 6B, an instruction to stop the gripper 41 is input from the operation panel 9. As a result, the servo motor 431 stops and the jig 8 stops within the engageable range 5D. Note that the engageable range 5D is a range of a vertical position of the jig 8 in which the convex portion 631 that is traveling upward can engage with the notch groove 81 of the jig 8. Subsequently, the operator inputs a travel instruction for the timing belt 63 from the operation panel 9. As a result, the rotation drive motor 64 rotates, the drive pulley 61 rotates in the clockwise direction in the figure, and the timing belt 63 travels.

走行中のタイミングベルト63は、上流ターンガイド部5Aの最上流部では上向きに走行する。上向きに走行している凸部631が、掛合可能範囲内5Dにある治具8の切欠溝81に掛合することにより、治具8はタイミングベルト63と一体となり、図6(C)に示すように、第1ワーク搬送ガイド部5の上方を経由して水平方向に移動する。凸部631は、切欠溝81の奥面811を押圧する形になり、上昇時及び水平走行時に外れにくい。   The traveling timing belt 63 travels upward in the uppermost stream portion of the upstream turn guide portion 5A. When the convex portion 631 traveling upward is engaged with the notch groove 81 of the jig 8 within the engageable range 5D, the jig 8 is integrated with the timing belt 63, as shown in FIG. Then, it moves in the horizontal direction via the upper part of the first workpiece conveyance guide unit 5. The convex portion 631 presses the inner surface 811 of the notch groove 81, and is difficult to come off during ascent and horizontal travel.

図6(D)に示すように、下側のタイミングベルト63の走行方向が下方向から水平方向(図中左方向)に変わった位置で、凸部631は切欠溝81から外れ、治具8がタイミングベルト63から離脱する。治具8が凸部631から離脱した時点で、作業者は第1ニップローラ部7の押圧指示を操作パネル9から入力する。その結果、エアーシリンダ72が駆動ローラ65の側に延伸する。その結果、ニップローラ71は、ニップローラ71と駆動ローラ65との間に介在した帯状ワークWを挟持する。このとき回転駆動モータ64の回転により駆動ローラ65は回転しているため、帯状ワークWは鉛直下方に向けて降下する。   As shown in FIG. 6D, at the position where the traveling direction of the lower timing belt 63 changes from the lower direction to the horizontal direction (left direction in the figure), the convex portion 631 comes off the notch groove 81 and the jig 8 Is detached from the timing belt 63. When the jig 8 is detached from the convex portion 631, the operator inputs an instruction to press the first nip roller portion 7 from the operation panel 9. As a result, the air cylinder 72 extends toward the driving roller 65. As a result, the nip roller 71 sandwiches the belt-like workpiece W interposed between the nip roller 71 and the drive roller 65. At this time, since the driving roller 65 is rotated by the rotation of the rotation driving motor 64, the belt-like workpiece W is lowered vertically downward.

帯状ワークWが十分に手の届く位置まで降下したら、作業者は、第1ニップローラ部7の解除指示及び回転駆動モータ64の停止指示を操作パネル9から入力する。これによりエアーシリンダ72が収縮して、ニップローラ71と駆動ローラ65との間に挟持された帯状ワークWは、その挟持から解放されると共に回転駆動モータ64は停止する。   When the belt-like workpiece W is lowered to a position where it can be sufficiently reached, the operator inputs a release instruction for the first nip roller unit 7 and a stop instruction for the rotation drive motor 64 from the operation panel 9. As a result, the air cylinder 72 contracts, and the belt-like workpiece W sandwiched between the nip roller 71 and the drive roller 65 is released from the sandwich and the rotational drive motor 64 stops.

続いて作業者は、帯状ワークWの上記付け根付近をグリッパ241の隙間に通し、第2エアダンサー部(図1参照)にセットする。その後、裏側面露光ステージ3へのセットを、表側面露光ステージ2へのセットと同様の作業要領で行う。以上の一連の作業をシーケンスプログラムによって行うようにしてもよい。   Subsequently, the operator passes the vicinity of the base of the belt-like workpiece W through the gap of the gripper 241 and sets it in the second air dancer portion (see FIG. 1). Thereafter, the setting to the back side exposure stage 3 is performed in the same manner as the setting to the front side exposure stage 2. The above series of operations may be performed by a sequence program.

このように、本発明に係る帯状ワークの自動セット装置によると、高所位置を搬送経路に含む帯状ワークの搬送装置に当該帯状ワークをセットする作業を、踏み台を使用することなく、自動的に行うことができ、安全性に優れ、しかも作業効率が良い。   As described above, according to the automatic apparatus for setting a belt-like workpiece according to the present invention, the work of setting the belt-like workpiece on the belt-like workpiece transporting apparatus including the high position in the transport path is automatically performed without using a step platform. It is possible to carry out, and it is excellent in safety and the work efficiency is good.

以上のようにして、セットされた帯状ワークWは、表側面露光ステージ2において、第1上流グリップフィード部4のグリッパ41と、第1下流グリップフィード部24のグリッパ241とがそれぞれ帯状ワークWを挟持した状態で上下方向にスライドすることにより、帯状ワークWが間歇搬送される。間歇搬送された帯状ワークWを第1吸着テーブル253により吸着保持した状態で、第1反射ミラー251により反射した光源からの光を、第1露光マスク252を通過させることにより、帯状ワークWの表側面への露光を行う。   As described above, the set strip-shaped workpiece W is formed by the gripper 41 of the first upstream grip feed portion 4 and the gripper 241 of the first downstream grip feed portion 24 in the front side exposure stage 2 respectively. The belt-like workpiece W is intermittently conveyed by sliding in the up-down direction in the sandwiched state. The light from the light source reflected by the first reflecting mirror 251 is allowed to pass through the first exposure mask 252 in a state where the belt-like work W transported intermittently is sucked and held by the first suction table 253. Perform side exposure.

同様に、裏側面露光ステージ3において、第2上流グリップフィード部4Rのグリッパと、第2下流グリップフィード部36のグリッパとがそれぞれ帯状ワークWを挟持した状態で上下方向にスライドすることにより、帯状ワークWが間歇搬送される。間歇搬送された帯状ワークWを第2吸着テーブル353により吸着保持した状態で、第2反射ミラー351で反射した光源からの光を、第2露光マスク352を通過させることにより、帯状ワークWの裏側面への露光を行う。   Similarly, in the back side exposure stage 3, the gripper of the second upstream grip feed portion 4 </ b> R and the gripper of the second downstream grip feed portion 36 slide in the vertical direction while sandwiching the strip-shaped workpiece W, thereby forming a strip shape. The workpiece W is conveyed intermittently. The back side of the belt-like workpiece W is passed by allowing the light from the light source reflected by the second reflecting mirror 351 to pass through the second exposure mask 352 while the belt-like workpiece W transported intermittently is sucked and held by the second suction table 353.
