The pallet unit further includes a pallet which is provided with a plurality of positioning pins each to be inserted into the reference hole and corresponding to a plurality of kinds or types, and onto which the work is placed, a clamping mechanism part which holds the work by a pressing force of a spring, and a switching mechanism part which performs switching between the plurality of positioning pins. Further, the base is equipped with a clamp drive unit for operating the clamping mechanism part, a switch drive unit for operating the switching mechanism part, and a lift unit for moving the clamp drive unit and the switch drive unit toward and away from the pallet unit to engage with or disengage from the pallet unit.
