Carrier system for carrying objects, carrier unit constituting carrier system, and control system for carrier system

摘要

A carrier system is constituted by a plurality of carrier units which are coupled by inter-unit couplers. Each carrier unit includes a rail for moving a carrier, a table for placing an object to be delivered or retrieved, and a coupler for joining the rail and table. An inter-unit coupler is provided at the coupler. Further, the carrier system includes a rail having two rail tracks where two carriers move without interfering with each other.
