A molded component retrieving apparatus and a molding machine with the molded component retrieving apparatus mounted thereon are disclosed. A first unit (3) of the molded component retrieving apparatus includes a base (10), first to third arms (12, 14, 16) and a first lift arm (17). A second unit (4) includes fourth to sixth arms (20, 22, 24) and a second lift arm (25). The second unit (4) is removably mounted on the third arm (16) through an intermediate base member (18). The rotary shafts (11, 13, 15, 19, 21, 23) of the arms are aligned in the same axial direction. A holding unit to hold and retrieve the molded component or the runner is arranged at the forward end of the first and second lift arms (17, 25). Even in the case where the molded component retrieving apparatus is mounted at the upper portion of the molding machine, each arm can pivot horizontally and therefore the machine height can be kept low, while the molding machine with the retrieving apparatus mounted thereon can be kept within the transverse limit of the molding machine. Also, even in the case where the drive sources are reduced in number and other arms are pivoted using a belt and a pulley, the third and sixth arms (16, 24) can be kept in position. As a result, the apparatus can be mounted on the molding machine even at a place having a low ceiling and the molding machine can be transported with the apparatus mounted thereon. <IMAGE>
