An automatic transporting and aligning pallet is provided to align plural assembly parts loaded in the pallet and to transfer the assembly parts to a working location of a handling robot by installing a position aligning member for aligning the assembly parts loaded in the pallet, and a pair of helical shaft members driven by a motor to transport the loaded assembly parts to the handling robot. An automatic transporting and aligning pallet includes helical shaft members(14) vertically separated from a frame member(10) and disposed in a transverse direction. The helical shaft members have equal pitches and are capable of free rotations for transporting assembly parts(12). A driving motor(16) drives the helical shaft members at equal rotational speed. A position aligning member(18) is installed at a loading location of the frame member for aligning the assembly parts. The frame member includes plural vertical frames(10a) fixed to a floor of the work area, transverse frames(10b) intersecting the plural vertical frames, and bearing members(10c) installed on two ends of two vertical frames to rotatably support two ends of the helical shaft members. The driving motor is directly connected to at least one of the two helical shaft members, and delivers the driving force to the other helical shaft member through belts(20), and pulleys(14a,16a) are installed on the motor and the helical shaft member for the operation of the belts. The position aligning member includes a sensor(18b) for detecting positions of assembly parts transported by the helical shaft members, and a pressing rod(18b) for pressing one ends of assembly parts for obtaining the position data of the assembly parts.
