ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a teaching method for instructing relative proximity locations to a loading arm that is used for loading objects to be processed in to or out of a support boat, the support boat being provided with a plurality of support portions for supporting the objects to be processed at a predetermined pitch along the length thereof. With this teaching method the loading arm is moved manually into the vicinity of one of the plurality of support portions that is positioned at an uppermost end of the support boat, a support portion positioned at a lowermost end thereof, and at least one support portion other than the two support portions; obtaining three-dimensional coordinates thereof; and these three-dimensional coordinates are stored in a storage portion. The three-dimensional coordinates for each of the others of the support portions are then derived on the basis of these stored values. This makes it possible to accurately derive the three-dimensional coordinates of all of the support portions in practice, even at locations where the boat itself has become deformed.
