A ceramic shaped body-positioning system which can accurately position even a thin-walled ceramic honeycomb shaped body without occurring deformations, cracks and breakages of the ceramic shaped bodies and which is particularly suitable for positioning odd-shaped products is provided. A positioning system 1 for a ceramic shaped body 2 is used for positioning the ceramic shaped body 2 to accurately convey the ceramic shaped body 2 to the next step. The positioning system 1 comprises a centering table 3 for placing the ceramic shaped body 2, a plurality of chucking unit 4-1 each consisting of a chucking body 5-1 and a pair of ceramic shaped body-pushing members 5-1a and 5-lb provided in the chucking body, and a drive unit 6 for moving the chucking unit 4-1 toward/away from the ceramic shaped body 2 on the centering table 3. The plurality of chucking units 4-1 and 4-2 are simultaneously moved toward the ceramic shaped body 2 on the centering table 3 while controlling positions and speeds of the chucking units 4-1 and 4-2, thereby adjusting the position of the ceramic shaped body 2 on the centering table without giving a shock on the ceramic shaped body |
