Abstract

A working system includes multiple modules constituting a work line, a moving body that moves along the work line in which the multiple modules are arranged to supply necessary members to each module, and a line constituent member constituting a part of the work line. The line constituent member can be installed on the moving path of the moving body and has a light projecting section that projects light toward the moving body along the moving path of the moving body. The moving body has a sensor configured to detect the presence of an interfering object; a light receiving section configured to receive light from the light projecting section, and a control section configured to monitor for the presence of the interfering object within a detection range of the sensor.
