PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a workpiece carrier-circulation system capable of automatically circulating a workpiece carrier and improving maintainability of processing machinery or the like. SOLUTION: The workpiece carrier-circulation system is equipped with a mounting device 22 mounting a raw workpiece W to a carrier C, a workpiece carrying device carrying the workpiece W mounted to the carrier C to the machining position, a separation device 24 separating the machined workpiece W from the carrier C, and a carrier transfer device 26 transferring an empty carrier C from the separation device 24 to the mounting device 22. The carrier transfer device 26 is disposed at the high position. The mounting device 22 and the separation device 24 is provided with a workpiece holding mechanism 37 holding the workpiece W, a carrier holding mechanism 38 holding the carrier C, an attaching/detaching mechanism 39 mounting or dismounting the workpiece W to/from the carrier C, and an elevating mechanism 40 elevating the empty carrier C.
