(7) Effect The present invention installs a workpiece transfer device near the machine tool, so that the operator can store multiple workpieces in a workcase, simply stack the workcases, place them on a trolley, and transfer the workpieces to the machine tool. Since the cart is simply transported to the work stocker section of the work transfer device and simply set, the input/output work by the operator is extremely simple.

The present invention solves the problem of synchronization by driving a rotary drive source using one cylinder as a means for lifting and lowering a work case. At the same time, since a mechanical mechanism is adopted, the structure is not only simplified and costs reduced, but also the drive transmission is ensured. Furthermore, by using the mutual link mechanism when the power is cut off, safety due to the dead point is ensured.
