Plural wok pairs composed of a plurality of works are stored in work storing means. A movable sensor 45 fitted to a conveyance robot 5 detects the position of one of the work pairs in the work storing means, and the work gripping means 25 takes out a plurality of works at one time from the work storing means. One of the plurality of works is held temporally by temporal work holding means 6 or 7 while the other work is conveyed to a jig Y. In the course of conveyance, a fixed sensor 63 detects the relative positional relationship between the work and the work gripping means 25. If the relative positional relationship deviates from the regular positional relationship, the movement of a robot arm 31 is corrected.

The present invention proposes a vacuum / high pressure filling apparatus which can improve the filling rate and shorten the impregnating time period in immersing a porous workpiece into a filling liquid. The vacuum / high pressure filling apparatus includes: an openable and closable hermetic partition chamber unit constituted by two upper and lower split partition wall unit portions, a partition chamber unit opening and closing mechanism to open and close the partition chamber unit, a vacuum suction opening and a pressurizing opening provided for the partition chamber unit, a liquid vessel arranged in the partition chamber unit to receive a filling liquid, a holder arranged, in the partition chamber unit, for the porous workpiece, an elevator unit to move the filling liquid in the liquid vessel and the porous workpiece relative to each other inside the partition chamber unit so as to immerse the porous workpiece into the filling liquid in the liquid vessel and pull up the workpiece from the filling liquid. When the partition chamber unit opening and closing mechanism brings the two upper and lower split partition wall unit portions into hermetic contact with each other, the partition chamber unit is closed and sealed. When the partition chamber opening and closing mechanism spaces the two upper and lower split partition wall unit portions from each other, the partition chamber unit is opened. By using the vacuum / high pressure filling apparatus according to the present invention, composite materials such as lubricant-impregnated metals, thermosetting resin-impregnated cast metals, etc. can be obtained.

An image processing apparatus which is capable of executing a processing flow without changing the contents thereof even when the processing flow includes a process that cannot be executed by itself. When a processing flow includes an unexecutable process, the apparatus transmits a request for confirming whether or not the processing flow is executable, to other image processing apparatuses, and receives a response indicating that the processing flow is executable, from any of the other apparatuses. The apparatus determines a transfer destination of the processing flow from the other image processing apparatuses. The apparatus generate from the processing flow a first cooperation processing flow including executable processes and a second cooperation processing flow including at least one unexecutable process, and transfers the second cooperation processing flow to the determined transfer destination. The apparatus displays an execution button for executing the first cooperation processing flow.
