Abstract
A transfer device comprising an automatic lifting unit, the transfer device includes: a barcode reader for reading a barcode attached to a box accommodating a bobbin loaded with raw materials; a fork unit for chucking the bobbin; a traveling drive unit; and a control unit. The control unit controls Z-axis centering of the fork unit in conjunction with the barcode reader and the distance sensor, X-axis centering of the fork unit in conjunction with the chucking sensor, and Z-axis elevation and Y-axis movement of the fork unit, respectively, to automatically control lifting of the bobbin.
Claims10
A transfer device comprising:
- a barcode reader configured to read a barcode coupled to a box, the box being arranged to accommodate a bobbin including raw materials;
- a fork unit configured to chuck the bobbin in a width direction the fork unit including a distance sensor configured to sense a distance to the bobbin, and a chucking sensor configured to sense the bobbin chucking;
- a traveling drive unit coupled to a top of the fork unit and configured to elevate the fork unit along a height direction wherein the traveling drive unit is configured to move the fork unit along a longitudinal direction;
- and
- a control unit is configured to automatically control lifting of the bobbin by controlling:
- centering of the fork unit along the height direction in conjunction with the barcode reader and the distance sensor,
- centering of the fork unit along the width direction in conjunction with the chucking sensor, and
- movement of the fork unit along the height direction and the longitudinal direction.
