ABSTRACT:
A processing system includes a transfer chamber, a plurality of chambers connected to the transfer chamber, a transfer apparatus disposed in the transfer chamber, and a control section configured to control the transfer apparatus. The transfer apparatus includes a base and transfer arm configured to perform a slide motion and a swing motion, respectively. The control section includes a storage portion and an operational controller. The storage portion stores pattern model data concerning a plurality of motion patterns each indicative of a composite motion of the slide motion and the swing motion, and track model data concerning time-based motion tracks respectively corresponding to the motion patterns. The operational controller is configured to retrieve necessary data from the pattern model data and the track model data and control the transfer apparatus in accordance therewith.
