Abstract
An apparatus having a robot on an frame having in front thereof a jig base for positioning thereon workpieces to which parts are to be assembled. The robot supports an assembling head equipped with a parts-holding member movable in a longitudinal and a vertical direction towards and away from the jig base so that the parts can be picked up out of a parts-containing pallet supplied at a predetermined pickup position on the frame and assembled to the workpiece positioned on the jig base. A pair of front and rear pallet chambers are formed in a space under the frame such that parts-containing pallets can be brought in and taken out in a stacked condition, one of the chambers being used as a feeding pallet chamber and the other as a discharging pallet chamber. A pallet conveying apparatus is provided to lift the parts-containing pallets fed to the feeding pallet chamber to an upper position of the chamber successively from the uppermost one, transport them from the upper position to an upper position of the discharging pallet chamber, and then lower them into the discharging pallet chamber. The parts inside the parts-containing pallets are picked up by the assembling head with the pallets stopped in the pickup position which is set at the upper position of the front side pallet chamber.
