WORKING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a working device capable of adjusting a position of a portion near a tool tip and an article to be worked along an xy surface without requiring independent movements along two linear directions, namely, an x-axial direction and a y-axial direction. SOLUTION: This working device is provided with a processing means for working a predetermined position of the article to be worked by advancing and retreating along a z-axial direction of the y-axis and the z-axis perpendicular to each other so as to abut the portion near the tip to the article to be worked, a support means for supporting the article to be worked, a c-axis rotating means for rotating the support means around a c-axis a rotating axis almost parallel to the z-axial direction, a y-axis movement means for moving the support means relatively to the worked means along the y-axis, and a control means for moving the c-axis rotating means and the y-axis moving means so that the working desired position which is the position to be worked of the article to be worked is worked by the working means.
