WORKPIECE HOUSING DEVICE WITH WORKPIECE LIFTING FUNCTION PROVIDED WITH WORKPIECE CENTRIPETAL GUIDE MEANS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability by carrying out centering just before a workpiece mounted on a mounting base is given and received, and giving and receiving the workpiece surely. SOLUTION: A workpiece housing device B is formed in such a constitution that a plurality of mounting bases 24 for mounting a plurality of workpieces W (W1, W2) are circulated and carrying on a carrying surface 21 arranged on a base 23, and are stopped at a prescribed dividing position on the carrying surface, and the workpieces W (W1, W2) mounted on the mounting bases 24 stopped at the prescribed calculating position for supplying the workpieces W (W1, W2) to a machine tool, are lifted up to a prescribed height position. The device B is provided with a workpiece centripetal guide means A for carrying out centering at a position where the workpiece W (W1, W2) positioned at the most upper step position are given and received, in the workpieces W (W1, W2) which are arranged upward the prescribed calculating position of the base 23 and lifted to the prescribed height position.
