Abstract
A holding device capable of reliably holding a workpiece with a simple operation. The holding device is for holding a workpiece and includes a base part; a guide member mounted on the base part and extending in a first direction; and a first holding mechanism movable in the first direction by an external force being applied thereto, the first holding mechanism being capable of holding the workpiece. Further, there is a second holding mechanism including a first member and a second member which face each other across the first holding mechanism in the first direction and each of which is movable relative to the base part by being driven by an actuator. The second holding mechanism is capable of sandwiching and holding the workpiece between the first member and the second member by changing a distance between the first member and the second member in the first direction.
