An inexpensive manufacturing cell. The manufacturing cell includes a robot provided with a traveling shaft slider traveling along a traveling shaft device. A support conveying device is attached to the traveling shaft slider via a connecting arm. A plurality of supports are stocked in a support stocker. An engaging device is attached to a forward end portion of the robot arm. Pins of the engaging device are engaged in pin holes for engagement of the desired support accommodated in the support stocker. When the support is pushed or pulled, it is put on the support conveying device. In this state of engagement, the traveling shaft device is driven to move the robot. The support is positioned at a position of a manufacturing machine to which the support should be attached. When the robot is driven to push the support on the support conveying device, the support is pushed out onto a table of the manufacturing machine. As the support is conveyed without being lifted up while the support is being put on the support conveying device, it is unnecessary to give a strong force for conveying the support. Accordingly, when a workpiece handling robot, which is usually provided in the manufacturing cell, is also used for conveying the support, the manufacturing cell can be inexpensively composed.
