WORK-PIECE ADSORBER

To provide a work-piece adsorber, which can surely adsorb a plurality of kinds of work-pieces with shapes different from each other.SOLUTION: A work-piece adsorber comprises: a plurality of adsorbing mechanisms which is mounted on a hand of a robot arm 8 that performs carrying work for carrying work-pieces 2, 3 and 4 and which adsorbs and holds the work-pieces 2, 3 and 4; and an adsorbing control part 22 that controls an operation of the plurality of adsorbing mechanisms. The adsorbing control part 22 divides the plurality of adsorbing mechanisms into a plurality of systems, and controls the operation of the plurality of adsorbing mechanisms independently for the plurality of systems respectively. The adsorbing control part 22, when the carrying work is performed, switches the systems which are caused to execute an adsorption operation by the adsorbing mechanisms depending on shapes of the work-pieces 2, 3 and 4 which are carried.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】互いに形状が異なる複数種類のワークを確実に吸着する。【解決手段】ワークの吸着装置は、ワーク２、３、４を搬送する搬送作業を行うロボットアーム８のハンドに取り付けられたものであり且つワーク２、３、４を吸着して保持するための複数の吸着機構と、複数の吸着機構の動作を制御する吸着制御部２２と、を備える。吸着制御部２２は、複数の吸着機構を複数の系統に分割し、複数の吸着機構の動作を複数の系統毎に独立して制御する。吸着制御部２２は、搬送作業が行われる際、その搬送対象となるワーク２、３、４の形状に応じて吸着機構による吸着動作を実行させる系統を切り替える。【選択図】図４
