Abstract

An alignment apparatus of a container configured to an alignment of a container smoothly by using a manual operation and an automatic operation together is provided. The alignment apparatus includes a first calculator performing calculation measuring a position of the container based on a detection result of a position sensor, a second calculator performing calculation measuring a target position based on the detection result of the position sensor, the target container being placed on the target position, a third calculator calculating and setting a first automatic operation region performing the automatic operation based on a position of the container and a second automatic operation region performing the automatic operation based on the target position, respectively, a first signal generating part detecting overlapping of the first automatic operation region and the second automatic operation region, and generating a first speed reference signal so as to coincide the position of the container with the target position, and a second signal generating part generating a second speed reference signal for moving the container based on a manual control signal generated by an operation …
