Abstract
This invention provides a transfer system capable of efficiently transferring, by use of a bidirectional conveyor, a transfer target between different points. The transfer system include a control device that: executes, in an alternate manner, a first mode in which a transfer target on a conveyor mechanism of a bidirectional conveyor device is transferred in a first direction and a second mode in which a transfer target is transferred in a second direction reverse to the first direction; and continues the first mode according to a predetermined first period defining a duration of the first mode.
Claims6
A transfer system comprising:
- a bidirectional conveyor device including a conveyor mechanism capable of transferring a transfer target bidirectionally;
- and
- a control device,
- the control device being configured to control the bidirectional conveyor device to execute a first mode and a second mode alternately, the first mode being a transfer mode for transferring a transfer target on the conveyor mechanism in a first direction, the second mode being a transfer mode for transferring a transfer target on the conveyor mechanism in a second direction reverse to the first direction,
- the control device being further configured to continue the first mode according to a predetermined first period defining a duration of the first mode.
