Abstract
Take-in and take-out conveyors are provided on horizontal sides of a chucking mechanism, which is adapted to engage a workpiece and vertically move the same, and disposed flush with each other for supplying and discharging the workpiece to and from a position of the chucking mechanism. A dipping vessel is provided immediately under the chucking mechanism at a position lower than the level at which the workpiece is carried by the take-in and take-out conveyors. The take-in and take-out conveyors, which are adapted to carry the workpiece in the same direction and at the same speed, are slid/driven in approaching and separating directions between standby positions, which are opposite to each other across a vertical space of the chucking mechanism, and working positions which are located near each other immediately under the chucking mechanism. Thus, it is possible to perform dipping with high accuracy without sliding the chucking portion while protecting the workpiece against vibration and deviation.
