A tape type work conveying method and apparatus conveys works placed in placing portions on a conveying tape to an opening surface portion, and causes a robot device to pick up or place works in synchronism with a parts assembling apparatus or a parts manufacturing apparatus. In the tape type work conveying apparatus, a cover tape is arranged to cover opening portions of the placing portions of the conveying tape. The tape type work conveying apparatus includes a first reel for fixing end portions of the conveying tape and the cover tape, a second reel for fixing an end portion of the conveying tape, a third reel for fixing an end portion of the cover tape, drive assemblies for respectively causing the first, second, and third reels to perform pivotal movements, an intermittent driver which drives the conveying tape, a controller for controlling the drive assemblies and the intermittent drives, and a first detector for detecting to-be-detected portions arranged near the opening surface portion and arranged at substantially the same intervals as the placing portions of the conveying tape. The works are picked up or placed while synchronizing the apparatuses on the basis of the detection result from the first detector.
