ABSTRACT:
In a conveying apparatus for conveying works between a first lower die and a second lower die in a press machine, a distal end portion of a multi-joint robot is connected to a linear shaft body, and the linear shaft body carries a linearly reciprocating body movable in the directions of the length of the linear shaft body. The linearly reciprocating body is connected to a first detachable holding device that holds a first work. The linear shaft body is connected to a second detachable holding device that holds a second work. The first work is transferred by motion of the linear shaft body and the motion of the linearly reciprocating body carrying the first holding device, and the second work is transferred by motion of the linear shaft body alone. The holding of the first work and the holding of second work are started approximately at the same timing, but the releasing of the first work and the releasing of the second work are performed at different timings in accordance with the positions at which their conveyances are completed.
