Abstract
A plurality of working blocks (A, B) are connected by rails (). A branched transporting mechanism () is disposed at the intersections of the rails (). A transportation vehicle () of non-self-propelled type moves on the rails () by the driving power of a wire (). A placement table () is positioned in the vicinity of the working blocks (A, B). The placement table () moves up and down with a workpiece placed thereon between the transportation vehicle () and the working blocks (A, B). Transfer of work is effected by moving the placement table () up and down, and adjusting the height of the placement table () to the height of the transportation vehicle () or to the height of the working blocks (A, B). Further, the transportation vehicle () has a wire gripping mechanism () for gripping the wire (), and workpiece placement plates () for placing the workpiece thereon.
