PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a workpiece feeding device having high feeding efficiency of workpieces aligned in a predetermined posture.SOLUTION: A workpiece feeding device comprises: a detection means 6 for detecting each of a state in which a workpiece W in a positive direction is present at a detection position 6x set in a conveyance path 32 and a state in which the workpiece W in a different direction is present to output a detection signal corresponding to each of the states; an acceleration means 4 provided in the vicinity of the detection position 6x and temporarily accelerating the workpiece W; a posture conversion means 5 provided in the vicinity of the detection position 6x and converting the posture of the workpiece W by rotating a conveyance direction rear part of the workpiece W toward a conveyance direction front part about an axis perpendicular to the conveyance direction; and a control part 8 controlling the acceleration means 4 and the posture conversion means 5. The control part 8 performs the control of the acceleration means 4 and the posture conversion means 5 on the basis of the detection signals by the detection means 6, the workpiece W is thereby accelerated when the workpiece W arriving at the predetermined detection position 6x is in the positive direction, and the workpiece W is subjected to posture conversion when it is in the different direction. |
