Abstract
A positioning device for a parts supply tray has a plurality of areas each for containing a part. The parts supply tray is formed with a plurality of positioning holes each located at a substantially central position in each of the areas. The positioning device has a plurality of positioning pins adapted to be inserted into the positioning holes of the parts supply tray, respectively. When the part contained in one of the areas is to be selectively picked up, one of the positioning pins in the selected area is selectively inserted into the positioning hole corresponding to the selected positioning pin to thereby position the parts supply tray in a fixed position for each selected area.
