A robot driven robot index system includes a track having indices defining
robot workstation positions along the track. The system also includes a
non-driven carriage movable about the track. The carriage has a locking
device for controllably locking the carriage to the track. The system
further includes a robot having a base and a swingable, movable arm. The
robot base is secured to the non-driven carriage. The system also
includes at least one reference connector spacedly disposed from the
track and located within a working range of the robot. The robot arm is
adapted to connect with the reference connector, for moving the robot
along the track between workstations through the movement of the robot
arm.
