Substrate transport apparatus and substrate transport path adjustment method

A substrate transport apparatus, comprising:

• guide members which are able to approach and move away from each other, and which are arranged to support first and second sides of a substrate so as to guide said substrate along a prescribed path;
• guide member driving devices which move each of said guide members;
• a first detection device which detects that said guide members are in contact with said substrate and are positioned to guide said substrate;
• a substrate containment device proximate one end of said guide members, said substrate containment device containing said substrate when said substrate is not being guided by said guide members;
• regulating members which regulate the position of the substrate containment device by mutually approaching and moving away;
• regulating member driving devices which move each of said regulating members;
• and
• a second detection device which detects that said regulating members have regulated the position of said substrate containment device, wherein said guide member driving devices position said guide members, and said regulating member driving devices position said regulating members based on the position of said guide members.
